I bought my Vonets extender for £17 off Amazon.
I already had ZWO cameras, so it wasn’t a difficult decision for me.
It really has made my life a lot easier and has transformed my imaging.
It also means I can sit inside and monitor what’s going on.
Well handy as I’m getting a bit older now, plus the nights are getting colder.
Where’s me blankey?

Don’t know if your aware that RVO sell a ZWO Wi-Fi extender for £39 cheaper than £300 for a new unit, and some electronic wizards on eBay will fit a aerial for around £50 still a lot cheaper. There is another option using a RPI4 mini computer with software costs around £160, I did try this but couldn’t get on with the software it was probably just me as so many other people have great success with it. There are so many options out there its really quite difficult to know which way to go and really expensive if you make a wrong turn. anyway stay safe and keep shouting at the clouds.
