(Adjust brightness and contrast on your monitor for best viewing) . The telescopes and
imagers shown below were used to obtain the images on these pages. These
pictures are not so good, but at least you can see the equipment used.
I will try to post better pictures of the equipment when time permits.
The telescope below is our 10" LX200GPS made by Meade. The SAC-7b imager is shown attached to the telescope. For experienced amateurs, note the homemade dew-shield. It is made from sheet aluminim, duct tape, and the inside is lined withblack felt. It works great at a total cost of only about $20.00 for all materials. .
    Imagers used obtain deep space objects on these pages are are shown below. Note that there are a lot of cords. It can be a real challange to make sure they don't get tangled up or tripped over during an imaging session. The SBIG ST-7e is shown with the power supply only. It too has a variety of cords needed for operation.    Return
