With the exception of an EQ6 mount my imaging set up is now just about complete.


 


The business end.


 


Williams Optics GT 81 coupled up to an Atik 314 L


 


St 80 guide scope using an SPC 800 all mounted on my home made adjustable mount.


 


Both scopes are mounted on my home made parallel mounting bracket.

The control room.


Twin computers one controlling the scope and the guiding the other takes care of all the imaging and processing side of things.

You know what Sheila I think that every time I boot it up not to mention the thought of your generosity as it processes my pictures in a tenth of the time my old one used to take. :wub:  :2thumbsup::notworthy:

Looks like a very nice set up Graham, and will be interesting to see your imaging results, when this pesky weather sorts itself out.

Proper mission control there Graham. You just need a beige waist coat, flat top haircut and you away! (Gene Kranz.)  :)


 


I don't think that rig know's it's going to get a thrashing from you yet. I can't wait for the images to roll in.
