- 6″ Schmidt-Cassegrain catadioptric telescope
- 3.5″ Maksutov-Cassegrain catadioptric telescope
- 3″ Fast achromatic refractor
- Compact equatorial tracking mount
Schmidt-Cassegrain CAT
Celestron NexStar 6SE - a 150 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain computerized telescope.
My main instrument, here shown with Orion dielectric mirror star diagonal and Explore Scientific 20 mm eyepiece.
Maksutov-Cassegrain CAT
Celestron C90 - a 90 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope.
Here shown on Vixen Porta II Alt-Az mount with Rigel Systems QuikFinder, Orion dielectric mirror star diagonal, and Explore Scientific 11 mm eyepiece.
In my view this is an almost perfect set for a "grab and go" high-power instrument on a resonable budget. I use it for lunar and double star observations.
Fast achromatic refractor
Meade ETX-80 - an 80 mm f/5 achromatic refractor on computerized GoTo mount. I added a baseplate for QuikFinder on the tube.
I use it for wide field observations.
Ultracompact tracking mount
iOptron Skytracker, an ultracompact equatorial tracking mount
Here shown on Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod. I use it for photographic work. I use it for Moon imaging as well as it can carry Celestron C90 with a DSLR camera.
