yes the mount is an EQ motorised mount to track objects
I've recently hooked it up to my laptop that way I can work from indoors and control the telescope across my network and view the camera on my PC rather than freezing my nuts off outside

Sweet rig, oldpink. I'm a big fan as well. Had a variety of scopes so I know the feeling when you finally throw down on a nice one. Happy Birthday, btw.

I'm just now getting into astrophotography! I don't own a camera yet but I have a wide field, fast focal ratio telescope with a motorized mount, and I'm about to buy one of those digital eyepiece cameras that hooks up straight to the computer.
Nice images of Jupiter! Is that a stacked image or a single exposure? |
