Hi,
I have been absent many years from this forum. Lately I have started again with Solar imaging but already in December 2012 I modified my double stacked Coronado SM60.
I can now adjust them remotely while sitting in front of the PC monitor and check the adjustment results.
Below some images of how I solved it. Nowadays with the Arduino it is relatively simple to make it.
regards Rainer

Re: Coronado SM Remote adjustment
That's a very interesting (and complex looking) option to achieve remote tilt control.
I just use the "semi-remote" Vegemite lid option.....

Re: Coronado SM Remote adjustment
@JF Roudier,
I sent you an email a few months ago asking about the brass portions of your excellent set-up but I never received a reply. When you have a moment, can you please help me out by informing where I can purchase the brass hardware? I can easily produce the remaining components.
Many thanks for your time!
