Nude Astronomy
If you enjoy looking up at the stars in the night sky this is for you. This group is for people who like astronomy. Im creating this group to meet people who like astronomy so we can talk about upcoming astronomical events or cool things that we have seen in the past. If you have a telescope and use it great and if you dont have one thats cool too, you can see a couple of planets with the naked...

TELESCOPE?
Return to DiscussionsLets get this ball rolling.
I'll start with my mount which is a Skywatcher HEQ5-pro which i use to mount one of three telescopes, Firstly my 6" f/8 newtonian which I haven't used in years! Then I have an Orion Optics 10" f/4 newtonian which will be my fast imaging scope, but it needs a new mirror cell before it will be much use. My current favourite scope is a little Revelation 80mm f5.6 APO, i like it because it is less hassle than the newtonians, i never have to worry about it colliding with the tripod legs, all i need to do is get a stepper motor connected to the focuser & then I can start using it to image.on any of these telescopes I have a range of different cameras for use depending on what I am imaging, cameras include, a canon EOS10d, an Atik Monochrome CCD & LRGB filterwheel, & a range of webcams in various states of modification.I've also got a range of scopes under my wing as it were, as i am the observatory director for my local Astro Soc where we have an over engineered 12" f/7 newtonian in a big dome, an 18" JMI newtonian (think its an f/6) we've also got a 10" & 12" Meade waiting to be housed.
