First assembly of the second version of the setup based on a homemade harmonic drive.
This time, it's an all-in-one configuration.
I suspended the electronics box and the battery as a counterweight.
During the second assembly, I switched the focuser to a belt drive and replaced the dew heater with a 4.5W heating cable at 12V. The commercial dew heater was glitchy—either the heater or the camera would malfunction.
Next step is to attach a heat pump—to transfer heat from the sensor to the lens.
