What Telescopes etc are we bringing to SGL9?

[John]

I'll be near Steve with my 16" dob - all to myself!   possibly my 6" f5 too far a bit of solar.

I've seen enough pics of your scope Shane - I wanna look through it !!! 

Please ... 

[Stephen]

Looks like we're in Dobs corner.

A litteral Dob mob     

[AndyWB]

Good God. Apparently a 10" dob is underscoped... 

[Spikey]

Definitely the Dob and the Pronto. Maybe the 150P/NEQ6 depends if I need help with EQMod/MaximDL or not.

I can hep you with that mate

You'll acquire Dob envy

Not a chance, the only mirror I own is for shaving

[Moonshane]

Please ... 

ha ha of course! I'm not really a scope hogger. I am looking forward to looking through Steve's too if I can (and also maybe a good frac and SCT, neither of which I have ever really looked through in earnest). looking forward to it (and maybe finally splitting Sirius - what a strange target for a star party!).

[Moonshane]

ps I hope to locate most of my remaining messiers. how confident are we that it will be clear skies!

[Mav359]

I'll have my C9.25 & Hyperstar with me for imaging and my 127mak for some visual, I've also a pair of bino's for some general observing........ and beer

Wouldn't mind having a peek through one of the large DOB's if no one has any objection

[Psychobilly]

And I'm in "togs" corner... Although in the "shadow" of Photosbykev on one side and JonH on the other....

[SimonfromSussex]

I'm going to bring my Lunt 60mm H-alpha OTA B1200 BF as well now Alan!

If we can find a good travel mount???

You never know, we might get some clear sky in the day too  (assuming we can be drawn away from the pub)!

[steppenwolf]

Our little 6" dob will look miniscule compared to these  

Don't worry, it'll look huge against my WO Megrez 72 :grin:

[rowan46]

I would have bought my 24" dob but for 2 reasons. one it wouldn't fit in the car and 2 i don't actually own one except in my dreams. So it looks like the ts80 again as that is all I have

Be good to have a side by side with the Pronto if we get the clear sky this year.

[banner001]

ill be bringing my 10" dob and my nikon d7000 camera to attempt some AP...

[rowan46]

Would love to have a chance to compare it with some quality optics

[earth titan]

If it arrives in time (should do - I hope) the new Explore Scientifics 12" dob....

And perhaps an 80mm scope with mount for white light solar - in case we see the sun.

It would be great to see one of those "in the flesh" 

[earth titan]

I agree! Still waiting for it to arrive - should be here next week according to ES.

[michaelmorris]

Orion 80ED and Revelation 66 APO, both mounted on a HEQ5 Pro.  Imaging with Canon 1100D (modified) and Canon 1000D (unmodified).

The 1100D will be ued on Ha targets and the 1000D on stellar (and galactic) targets.  When not used on the scope, the other camera will be used for widefield shots with a camera lens.

Celestron 15 x 70 bins for visual.

[AstroGnome]

I'll probably pack the usual imaging rig (ED80+HEQ5+314L)

However, I should also have taken delivery of my very shiney custom made Moonraker 102 by then :grin:

And, of course, beer, lots of beer....

[LeeB]

12" Orion optics 5.3 , on eq6 synscan (with CdC) and if Cotterless has room in the car (we are travelling together) would love to bring the dob.

I'm looking forward to meeting you Lee, and also to seeing this 12" OO that cotterless keeps enthusing to me about

[Rustysplit]

I may even bring my 16ft prospector canoe. Something to do in the day time.
