Building my second AstroPhotographic Rig...

Description

Doubling my pleasure, doubling my fun - I am in the process of bringing a second astrophotographic setup on line. I just finished setting up the Optical tube assembly. This will be based on monochromatic cameras and a 8 slot filter wheel.

The base scope is a Astrophysics 130mm f/8.35 EDT APO refractor. The Guide scope is a Televue 76mm APO. The main camera is a ZWO ASI1600mm-pro with a ZWO 8 slot filter wheel loaded with a L, R, G, B. Ha, OII, and SII filters, as well as a metal disc for dark calibration frames. The Guide Camera is a ZWO ASI290MN-Mini. I have a Pegasus astro Focus Cube2 motor so that I can do autofocusing. And A power box and and usb3.0 hub is mounted as well. Just need to finalize the cable management. I have the mount for this arrangement and am just waiting for the Tri-Pier to hold it all up. Almost done! The idea here is that I can have two robotic scopes out working fro me - capturing two different objects, while I monitor them from inside.
