Planets | Moon | Sun | Deep Sky | Equipment

Here (below) is my Meade LX 90 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. The Microfocuser sits immediately behind the rear cell followed by the radial guider. An electronic eyepiece is used to track a bright object while the SAC7 - CCD camera is recording which can be observed on a computer screen.

I typically use eyepiece projection and manual "chasing" of the objects. You can also see my good old Yashica FX-D SLR which is piggy backed on top of the tube assembly.

Below is the case with my set of MEADE eyepieces (Super Ploessl) comprising of (6.4,9.7,12.4,15,20,26,32 and 40mm). Also shown is the 3x Televue Barlow lens which is extremely useful for imaging of the planets. I use it often in combination with a Parks 2x to be able to cover a larger area of the SAC7 chip. In Foster City (by San Francisco) you also appreciate the light pollution filter.
II am selling all my equipment currently since I am moving soon. If you want to see prices and details click here. For other sales items (furniture/bikes etc) click here.
