Goodbye scope!

This tube will soon be replaced with another tube. This scope remains as spare.







Equipment updates continue

This absolute (7000 1.25 micron steps) temperature aware focuser will be used with EdgeHD 800 with reducer because of limited back focus there.

Equipment update

Preparing for the autumn to come. This is the newest addition into my astrogear. Bigger SX filter wheel with 7 position wheel for 1.25" filters. I changed the wheel with 2" five position narrow band filters. Also shown in the pictures is short back OAG with my current camera SX-694.

The reason for bigger wheel is the forecoming scope update with fast astrograph.
