Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!
Check out Dr Keller's latest brainchild project, an ASA20 and not forgetting the drooling DDM85 mount released during the first ever european astro imaging conference in Austria.....
everytime i flip s&t or astronomy and look at the galleries, i notice that alot of the selected photo are done with huge rcos and big ccd cameras. 12.5" - 16" seems to be the norm now, few more years 20" might be common.
[80% Steve, 20% Alfred] ------- Probability of Clear Skies = (Age of newest equipment in days) / [(Number of observers) * (Total Aperture of all telescopes present in mm)]
i read the DDM85 mount short review on Jan 09 S&T. It cost a whopping US$18k. It seems that its selling point is a mount head without gears!!! Anyway from the review, DDM - Direct-drive mount.
