Equipment

Primary Telescope

Click for larger image...

10" f/6.3 LX200 Mead SC with Milburn Wedge.

Current Accessories:

• 26mm Meade Plossl Eyepiece

• 12mm TeleVue Nagler2 Eyepiece

• 32mm TeleVue Plossl Eyepiece

• Moon filter

• U?? Oriion Filter

• Stuff I am forgetting.

Currently building the following to aide in using this heavy and power demanding scope:

• Dolly to transport (done)

• Power box for portable power, attached to dolly (working)

• Shelves on dolly to transport all or nearly all items needed during viewing session.

• Under tripod shelves for most stuff like chairs, table.....

I am lazy, I want to make ONE trip out of my garage to begin to view.  None of this 20 minutes of carrying stuff, nearly dropping scope, figuring out where power is coming from....   More work when driving the scope, but once I get to the site, I am not bound by the first setup location I choose.  I can mosey all around.

Secondary Telescope

8" f4.5 Coulter Odyssey - Classic, from  '85 :-)

I am currently thinking of a way to trade this scope for a 70-100mm refractor or a 3.5" Maksutov - Cassegrain to be used as a guide scope and as a small quick view scope.
