Hi my name is Andy FYI: I saw your 2 hr video on BY eos with the ascom people, thank you and very informative. The software looks great. can't wait to try it in the field.
Backyars eos will be my software of choice based on using my canon dslr, however I do own a Sony A7r4 which I also plan to use as a mirrorless full frame imaging platform. By chance will you ever be releasing a Sony version of BY eos?
But I do have a question that I can't find the answer to and I'm hoping you can answer for me. I'm new to astro photography, (totally new) and my question isn't so much a Backyard eos question but an ST-4 question as to related to Astro Tortilla. I'm going to be running an Skyguider pro by Ioptron and I will be using an off axis guider with an ZWO ASI 290mini as my guide camera. But Skyguider only uses ST-4, not Ascom. Can this be accomplished while using Astro Tortilla and Backyard eos with ST-4? If so how?
Andy

Similarly, because the SkyGuider is an RA-Only Tracking Mount, any AutoGuiding will Only be performed in that one RA Axis. Any Drift in Dec will go uncorrected. This isn't to say that attempting
