Telescope and Astrophotography setup

Earlier this year I got a refractor telescope and a new mount, cameras and a miniPC. I’ve had fun setting up and viewing a handful of celestial objects and some planets and moons. Still learning and waiting for clear skies.

Specs:

  • iOptron CEM26 mount with iPolar and GPS and 2″ Literoc tripod
  • Astro-tech AT102ED + AT 0.8 focal reducer/field flattener + AT Dielectric diagonal
  • ZWO ASI533MC Pro Imaging Camera
  • SVBony SV305C Pro guide camera and SV106 50mm guide scope.
  • Minix Z150-0db Mini PC running Sharpcap for EAA and NINA/PHD2/ASTAP/Stellarium for AP
