Thank you very much; I was hoping for some more direct answers, e.g. diameter of the ring is 400 mm and speed of rotation is up to 15 RPM. I'd like to do something significantly different with this design (outside of astro-photography, so different properties and ranges are relevant) and was interested in existing capabilities.
I saw the video and knew approximate values, I just wanted to see explicit specs - like blueprints for parts with sizes, or capabilities of motor-belt-ring coupling.
- dekhn 5y agoyou don't want this design for non-astrophotography. Much of the design is centered around rotating the imaging device in sync with the rotation of the earth so you can take exdtremely long exposures. Instead, you probably want something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/689699-REG/Giga_Pan_EPIC_PRO_EPIC_Pro_Robotic_Camera.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/689699-REG/Giga_Pan_E... There aren't "blueprints" but the STL files for the printed parts and the assembly provide the same information. Motor belt couplings like this are pretty well understood, mainly within the context of moving XY stages for 3D printers, but also in the larger context of industrial movement. Unfortunately, I don't think all of that is really documented in a way that is useful for people who aren't willing to invest significant effort into learning how to work with 3D printers, etc (or get a degree in mechanical engineering).
