A Mount Built by an Astrophotographer, for Astrophotographers

The Astrojigs mount was born from a real problem: quality tracking mounts are expensive and out of reach for most hobbyists. Designed and built from scratch using a CNC router, 3D printer, and years of hands-on experience, this modular system brings professional-grade astrophotography within reach.

Two Versions in Development

  • RA-only — Tracks the Earth's daily rotation, perfect for wide-field and planetary photography
  • RA + DEC — Full tracking and GoTo capabilities for deep-sky astrophotography

Will Be Available As

  • DIY assembly kits — with or without electronics and motors
  • Ready-to-use gear

Technical Highlights

  • ESP32 controller with Wi-Fi connectivity
  • NEMA17 stepper motors with TMC driver series
  • Belt transmission 
  • Theoretical angular resolution: <1 arcseconds per microstep
  • Compatible with OnStep, INDI, KStars/EKOS, Stellarium, PHD2
  • Supports telescopes up to ~30 kg

Proven in the Field

Tested under real night sky conditions with a Canon 6D DSLR and ASI planetary astrocam. Results include stacked 60s exposures of the Orion constellation and M51. First guiding tests with PHD2 show very promising accuracy.

What's Next

  • Design and order PCB boards with components
  • Measure system accuracy with PHD2
  • Design final enclosure and 3D printed cover
  • FCC and CE certification
