Imaging setups

This autumn I will be using setup #1 and will switch into setup #2 later during next year. Third setup has been reserved for occasional outdoor trips.

Setup #1:

• Takahashi FSQ-106ED w. Reducer QE 0.73x
• Starlight Xpress Trius SX-814 (3.69um 3388 x 2712 pixels in a 12.5 x 10mm array)
• USB_Focus focuser
• Starlight Xpress Filter Wheel 7x1.25" w. Astrodon 3nm Ha/O3/S2 + LRGB
• SX-OAG w. Lodestar

Setup #2:

• Celestron EdgeHD 8" w. Celestron 0.7 Reducer
• Starlight Xpress Trius SX-694 (4.54um 2750 x 2200 pixels in a 12.5 x 10mm array)
• FLI PDF focuser
• 1st Starlight Xpress Mini Filter Wheel 5x1.25" w. Astronomik LRGB + Ha
• 2nd Starlight Xpress Mini Filter Wheel 5x1.25" w. Baader Ha/O3/S2/Hb + Astronomik CLS
• SX Lodestar

Setup #3:

• TS Triplet 102/714mm f/7
• Starlight Xpress Trius SX-694
• Starlight Xpress Filter Wheel 5x2" w. Baader Ha/O3/S2/Hb + Astronomik CLS

As you may notice here I have invested some pennies into filter wheels (five of them) and filter sets (2xLRGB and 3xNB).
