In this video I go into details about the Altair Astro Astronomy cooled camera The Hypercam 533C Tec.
I had recently used this with a scope I was also sent to look at by Altair. The camera is an excellent performer and also being the owner of the 533MC by ZWO I started to compare. The Altair was not only cheaper to initially purchase but comes with so many extras it is hard to ignore.
Here is a list of all the extras
Armoured case
Power supply to run the camera
Good quality USB 3 B lead
Sealed sensor chamber with 2 year anti frost guarantee
Sensor window not only has an anti reflective coating but also a built in UV/IR cut filter
Camera built in Dew heater with controllable levels through software
Built in Tilt plate with 4 adjustment screws
1 years free licence to Sharpcap
Extra modes in software to enhance imaging experience even further.
Excellent customer service and ship worldwide so give them a look

ProLogik balance meter and tuning tool
https://www.prologik-astro.com/
The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
