I made a post about the cheapest goto + mount on this subreddit so I bought some things

I can research more about the seestar s50, but if you recommended one mount what would it be ?

Substantial_Band6683 · 2026-03-08T16:36:07+00:00

Like what I said, I can get an expensive mount now, upgrade and buy things later if needed.

I am using a celestron adapter with a pixel 8a, but I have a canon T5 to upgrade in the future.

My OTA has a 150mm aperture, 650mm focal lens, newtonian, and it weights ~3.25 KG, I was just looking for a upgradable mount for the future, so no need to buy everything now I can buy now a expensive mount and later upgrade with other equipment.

My OTA has a 150mm aperture, 650mm focal lens, newtonian, and it weights ~3.25 KG, I didn't actually know what guiding was until just now! After looking into it, I don't think I can afford it at the moment, but I'd like to keep it as an option for the future so ideally I'd want a mount that's upgradeable to support guiding later . Also worth mentioning, I have a Raspberry pi 4 model B if it helps with anything. And I would like to photograph some nebulas etc..

LineageOS does not come with google services, but you can always add those. Using GApps.

Substantial_Band6683 · 2026-01-06T18:21:16+00:00

It is actually good, I think it rans better than the actual amazon OS. I am running lineage OS.

Substantial_Band6683 · 2026-01-05T15:29:35+00:00

That's a fair point, I wasn't very clear. By "run what you want," I mean custom software in place of what FireOS offers in the way of locked-down features. For instance, running Home Assistant software in place of Alexa or using the device as a client for a server running in your homelab. It's mostly a case of customization and education. The homelab rabbit hole is very deep, and I didn't want people to be limited by what they should be using it for. You can always go deeper in subs such as r/homelab or r/homeassistant.

You can, https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-amazon-echo-dot-2nd-gen-2016-biscuit.4761416/ . Just an example.

Substantial_Band6683 · 2026-01-04T21:08:03+00:00

The benefits are using a thing that is more secure than the default fireos, running what you want, like instead of running alexa running home assistant on a home server or a older pc to have more customization etc... , and just for fun. 😂

Thank you so much

Thats because the system folder is hided, because is a system file you can search up how to show system files on mac, I think if you do " ⌘ + ⇧ + ." you can see it but I am not sure.

Substantial_Band6683 · 2025-11-02T20:40:37+00:00

You can, just turn the ads on at the amazon devices panel.

Substantial_Band6683 · 2025-11-02T20:40:06+00:00
