Question regarding equipment, posting, and advicePosted By Nathan Graves |
I'm not entirely sure where to start this topic and I would appreciate a few pointers if someone has the time. (dear mod's if even asking the question is somehow against the rules, please delete my post or contact me to delete it without banning me).
I'm attempting to word this so as not to step on any toes, and at the same time I'm not sure how to word this without giving at least a little background.
Myself and a partner have an observatory that we built 4 years ago that we use for astrophotography. Since we started, we've transitioned through an LX200, a CGEM, a CGE, a CGE PRO, and now an LX850.
One of our biggest annoyances was the USB-232 cabling and adapters that make an otherwise clean setup a complete jumbled mess.
Recently, we got so fed up with it that we decided to make our own clean cable and see if there are any other astronomers out there who would be interested in going together and getting a bunch made to keep the cost down.
From what I can tell, it appears that it is against the T&C of Astromart to link to a crowfunding effort (like indiegogo, kickstarter, etc).
This isn't a "Donation or Deal for our Cause" kind of post, and it isn't allowed in the Classifieds section, so where/how/what is acceptable for us to try and see if there is any interest for this type of thing?
Thanks for your time gents,
Nathan
