I've been an Amateur Astronomer for, well quite a while. My largest
Telescope is an 18" (.4572 meter) F 5.5 Dob mounted Reflector. Part of the
reason we live where we do is the Dark Skies.

Crazy Ed


My scope is a 11cm (4 1/2 inch?) Newton on a fragile equatorial mount and
ditto tripod, very cheap thingy, own it for appr. 30 years.
Did a lot of viewing back then, now we live in a much more lightpoluted
area. Also the mirror lost most of it's aluminium, I think.

Ever considered to mount your camera on the Dob? Should deliver great shots
with tracking.
