Description

During our yearly astro week I have used this triple imaging setup with 3 scopes + cameras:

- Lichtenknecker FFC150 Schmidt camera + Atik 11000 mono CCD & EFW2 filterwheel ( SII/Ha/OIII )

- Skywatcher Esprit 80 APO + 0,79 TS flattener + ASI071MC color CMOS camera

These two have almost exactly the same field of view.

- WO Zenithstar 61 APO + Asi178MM + ZWO 1,25" filterwheel. This was mosly pointing to a different object than the other two scopes.

The whole rig was running on one laptop with 3 parallel sessions of SgPro, together with PHD2 and Skytools Pro 3. One tip: the Atik had to have his own USB port, the rest was connected to two powered USB 2.0 hubs.

No issues whatsoever during 5 clear nights ;-). Results will follow as I will have time for processing.
