Portable planetary imaging setup

[hobsey]

As I'm destined to never try out my new Star Adventurer due to cloud but this friday (5/12/14) is looking clear but it is a full moon so it's still a no go.

So this evening I thought I would together my portable planetary setup together ready to have ago at Jupiter on friday evening/saturday morning. Looking forward to giving the flip mirror ago to help centralise the planet.

I've concentrated on the 127mak as my planetary setup as the C8 and CG5-GT is just too bulky plus the 127mak packs a real punch on the planets for its size.

Equipment list:

127mak on SLT AZ mount

Telrad

Flip mirror

Illuminated reticle

QHY5ii-L

Revelation x2.5 Barlow for when seeing is good
