Description

Telescope : Takahashi FSQ-106ED (D:106mm, fl:530mm)

CCD : SBIG STX-16803

Mount : RainbowAstro RST-135

Filters : Astrodon 50mm square LRGB

OAG : Astrodon MOAG

Guide CCD : ZWO ASI120mm mini

Exposure : L 600s x 8(1x1bin), RGB each 600s x 4(1x1bin) total 3h 20m

Location : RainbowAstro Remote Observatory @ NewMexico (Dark Sky NewMexico)

I visited DSNM a few weeks ago and installed the RST-135 mount. There is no reason not to use counter weights in the remote observatory, but I did not install it to test the mount. That gave me room for my narrow observatory. And I no longer hit my head on the counter weight.

The weight of the CCD set is 5kg. The total weight of the mounted equipment is 13 kg. Sorry to the tiny RST-135 mount. LOL
