What's in the works

There are a few things we're working on at the moment. We've had a lot of requests for kits for a certain small smart scope we don't currently cater for, well, today we took delivery of our test unit and will be designing something soon.
Then there's the WIP in the title image, our own EQ-Mount, hopefully that'll be finished soon, although there is no firm release date and a testing phase to go through yet.
Perhaps our most ambitious design is still a long way off at the moment, production problems to overcome due to the size, and technical challenges too. A bit cryptic we know but this particular project has been running on and off in the background for the last 13 months now and there have been many changes already and more proposed changes before we get anywhere near testing. Once this is eventually released we believe this will change things for a lot of budget smart scope owners. V0.5 sneek peek.
The OAKv2 KIT for the Seestar S50 now comes with a Bhatinov mask as well as a 4 and 6 star spike mask, we're just arranging for new photos for the kit and will get those up as soon as we have them, although if you ordered an OAKv2 kit recently you will have received the masks as part of the set.
We've also created a new quick release plate for DSLR mounts that accomodates both 3/8 16 and 1/4 inch photo screws meaning you can use it with both Dwarf and Seestar (as well as your DSLR) and attach them to a normal pan/tilt head on any tripod which has a head supporting quick release plates. Again we're waiting on photos but will get these up on the site as soon as possible. These have been through testing with both our Seestar S50 and Dwarf 3 testing units sitting safely through many days and nights.
