My Equipment

Although I don't feel that I have found that perfect combination of equipment yet, this what I currently have to work with. Most of you can understand that it is a constant battle between scope envy and financial responsibility. Like the old saying goes,

"The difference between men and boys, is the price of there toys"

telescopes:

My current rig consist of a pair of William optics zenithstar refractors.

the main imaging scope is the ZS 110 triplet apo nuzzled next to the zs 80

as a well matched guide scope. i affectionately named my rig

"the black pearl":

cameras:

 Main imaging camera is the SBIG ST-2000xcmi. Although I haven't mastered it

yet, I am already amazed at the results. I also use a Meade DSI II as a guide camera.

Mount:

The Losmandy G-11 w/GEMINI GoTo has proven to me to be all the mount I will ever need, well I shouldn't say never but for now I am more than happy with it.

Misc:

shoestring astronomy's GUSB guide port adapter makes guiding with your DSI

a snap.    point, click, guide!
