Our Equipment

 

This is the C-8 that really got me going, after viewing M-36,37 & 38 thru my old Meade DS70-EC and then My friend Steve's C-8, I knew this was the scope for me! I actually had to bump the DS-70 to be sure that I had the clusters in the eyepiece.

 

 

This is the scope that I told my wife Deb we HAD to have as a travel scope. Our Televue Pronto.

 

 

Here are the Celestron C-8 and the Televue Pronto piggybacked for photography and imaging.

 

 

Our Discovery 12.5" DHQ premium Reflector. This scope proved itself at its first outing; the 2005 Messier marathon, getting 108 of 110 objects! 

 

 

The newest scope and mount in our stable. The Takahashi NJP and C9 1/4 with our Pronto piggybacked on top. This scope can be found in our Exploradome ready to do battle at a moments notice

 

 

This is our Solar observing setup. This can be found in our Exploradome during solar observing.
