Deep Sky Rig: Summer 2020

Description

I bought this mount and telescope around 3 years ago and I've slowly been upgrading everything else since then. To make sense of the rat's nest wrapped around the tripod I made a [cable diagram showing the connections between each piece of gear](i.imgur.com/ZXfNaIE.png). Not much has changed since last summer, except for the addition of a Sulfur filter and some rework of the cabling. For the last year and a half I was shooting from my apartment roof in downtown Athens, GA. Since I've graduated college and moved away, I now at least get to shoot from bortle 6, rather than bortle 7 skies.
