EdgeHD SCT setup

Description

Hardware setup from earlier this summer - and me with my long COVID hair

OTA: Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 SCT
Mount: iOptron CEM70
Tri-pier tripod.
camera: ZWO ASI2600mm
reducer: Starizona Hyperstar  (makes for FL 525 mm, f/2)
Control computer (on OTA): BeeLink miniPC
Software: NINA
Power Distribution: Pegasus Astro Ultimate Power Box

transport: JMI Wheely Bars with 10 inch wheels (turns like a tank, but moves the total mass of 170 lbs (77 kg) of that rig + another ~40lbs from the wheely cart) [from Farpoint Astro]
The wheely bars have made a huge difference - I go from indoors to ready to polar align in 10-15 min.  Without the cart it was taking about an hour to set up and break down for each session.  No excuses to not get out there and image!
