MY EQUIPMENT

Here is the telescope I use for visual astronomy and astrophotography.  It's a Meade 1600mm SCT Reflector  with a 254cm(10") Primary Mirror. Piggybacked is a Stellavue 78mm Refractor which is used for both imaging and guiding.  Picture taken at Cherry Springs State Park
Lately I've been doing some driveway astro-photography.  Here is my current setup now.  With the complexities of setup and breakdown of the telescope, this makes it easier to capture images.  Unfortunately I have some nasty streetlights and light pollution that make it difficult to take deep sky shots from my neighborhood.
