My Second Astro imaging Rig with Mono Camera

Description

For the past year, I have been learning astrophotography with William Optics 132 FLT AP rig with a OSC camera. I recently finished the configuration of second platform based on a AstroPhysics 130 Starfire EDT F8.35 APO and a ZWO ASI1600mm-Prop mono camera with ZWO filter wheel. This allows me to run two rigs at the same time - doubling my capture ability - and it allows me be introduced to the word of Mono camera imaging and image processing.

Here are the details:

Scope: Astrophysics 130mm Starfire F/8.35 APO refractor

Guide Scope: Televue 76mm Doublet

Camera: ZWO ASI1600mm-pro with ZWO Filter wheel with ZWO filter set

Guide Camera: ZWO ASI290Mini

Focus Motor: Pegasus Astro Focus Cube 2

Mount: Ioptron CEM60

Polar Alignment: Ioptron Polemaster alignment camera

Capture Software: PHD2 Guider, Sequence Generator Pro controller

Image Processing: Deepsky Stacker, Pixinsight, Photoshop
