gso focuser

Gemini EAF fitted to GSO linear rail focuser with reinforced (sic) 3mm aluminium strip, epoxy glue, bits of adhesive tape and 'modified' tension screw. It works well. Sometimes.

Anyway, here are the images. An experiment using the old faithful StarTools in comparison with Franklin Merak's new-kid-on-the-block setiastrosuite 2.10.12 incorporating CosmicClarity AI with the usual large contribution for calibration and stacking from Siril 1.3.6
