Early Winter project


Turning into winter again with turbulent cloudy skies; so it is a good time for changes and building the new. I have just acquired another EQ6-r Pro mount and have set it up with my Celestron C6. I have just added an electronic focuser to the C6 with the Orion mini autoguider. A new BeeLink mini PC manages it all.

This rig will be used primarily for DSLR and close-up imaging, as the C6 is at f/10 with a focal length of 1500mm as compared to the LXD75 sn-10 at f/4 and 1016mm. I have been wanting to get a good close-up image of Neptune: December is a good time for that.
