72mm x 420mm 72ED Evostar APO Refractor for the main scope
Orion G26 - Color 26MP 16bit Camera APS-C sensor size cooled to -5C

Optolong L-Enhance Filter dual-band 6nm bandpasses
threaded on the front end of Orion 0.8x Field Flattener
and positioned inside the drawtube

Hand focusing using Bahtinov mask

EQ6R PRO mount

Polemaster NCP alignment system!

Synscan 1 star alignment and goto system was used exclusively only performed by hand
I.E. the target object was found using EQ6R PRO (skywatcher) hand-control only without
controllers via laptop (such as EQMOD, Stellarium, plate solving, point craft, NINA, etc)

Orion 80mm x 300mm refractor guide scope with Orion Starshoot Autoguider ST4 camera
direct to mount using ST4 cable and PHD2

SVbony heaters on flattener and main scope 

APT for the image capture exposures, light plan, auto sequencing, etc

Deep Sky Stacker
PS final edits


My sister Donna participated in the entire process  - start to finish to include
polar and star alignment, focusing, PHD2 guiding, image capture sequence, stacking, final edits.
