My Deep Sky set up

Description

My deepsky set up includes:1. Wide field setup Celestron AVX mount , 2. 130 mm Newtonian scope Celestron CG-5 mount, 3 . 200mm Newtonian scope Ioptron iEQ45 mount.

I like to weld so I made up a trio of scope buggies to hold my deepsky gear. Each scope buggy has 3 leveling bolts that screw into registration holes on my concrete pad and in bricks placed in the grass. The leveling bolts are screwed in with the aid of a battery operated hand drill. Good leveling all around will put the scope practically in the same spot every night so polar alignment is either not needed or easy to do.

I have a rolling cart which has spot lights ,power supplies and a flat surface for holding my stuff.The scope buggies carry usb hubs so basic electrical hook up to the scope buggy will include ac power, 12 volt power, and one usb cable for the computer which is in the house.

All I need now are clear skys :-) John
