This mounting kit allows for a flexible and compact setup and convenient use of ZWO ASIAIR Pro, Plus, or Mini and ZWO EAF on the William Optics RedCat 51 WIFD and MiniCat 51 WIFD telescopes.

The belt drive has a tension mechanism that supports a freewheel functionality on the focuser ring for easy manual adjustments. This allows for quick manual focusing in the desired direction. The belt drive is based on widely used pulleys and belts. This makes it easy to find a replacement or vary the dimensions or gear ratio.

A guide scope can be attached to the original handle bar on top of the telescope. An adapter is provided to ensure that the guide scope is slightly elevated so that the scope and the guiding camera pass over the top surface of the ZWO EAF. An additional rising block is provided for a more compact setup. The guide scope can be placed directly on this block.

ASIAIR can be placed in the vertical or horizontal orientations and in different positions.

See this page for assembly instructions and usage instructions. Please use this page to learn how optional parts of the kit can be applied.

The mounting kit includes:

  • 3D-printed components
  • All screws and nuts required for assembly and operation
  • One pulley for the ZWO EAF
  • One timing belt
  • Belt adapter for the focuser knob
  • Optional accessories if selected

Optional accessories are also available for the kit. The accessory plate has it own page which explains its functionality. The kit can be purchased in red or red color, whereas the red color provides almost perfect match to the colors of ZWO components and the telescope.
