Description

Deep space imaging with a Dob?!?! I know... I'm nuts!

For imaging with a Dob, I HIGHLY recommend the Denkmeier OCS-A45. It wasn't conceived for this purpose, but it brings your DSLR to as close as prime focus as you are going to get with a Dob, due to the lack of in-focusing (unless you move your primary!)! A huge thanks to Denkmeier co-owner, Russ Lederman, for letting me use (and then buy) his personal OCS-A45!
