Meade and iOptron and Canon Ra 2023

Description

Meade  70mm x 350mm APO
Canon EOS R adapter (35mm)
Canon EOS Ra w/Neewer intervalometer
PoleMaster camera (and laptop w/cable for polar alignment)
DewNot DewHeater controller and strip
iOptron CEM-25 EC & 2 inch tripod
Celestron PowerTank (on the ground)

A few accessories needed nightly include a 70mm Bahtinov mask, a red dot pointer that fits the Canon Ra flash shoe via an adapter, lens blower bulb and lens cleaning cloths, at least one fully charged spare camera battery as it usually takes 1.5 - 2 batteries to power the camera for a long night.

I use an old MacBook Pro to run PoleMaster’s app and I then unplug and put away the laptop once polar aligned.  The red dot finder and Bahtinov mask are used as needed at setup and between images.
