Show us your dual scope set ups

[Astroframer]

Some really nice kit in these posts ( Not making me envious at all )

One of the several dual I've had AC11 and 102s 

[iPeace]

Just need to get all the cables sorted...

I put this together with a few bits and pieces. I thought it would have been good for holiday but it weighs a stone (give it take an ounce) without camera so don't think so!

Grab and go setupnwith White light and Ha views side by side, very nice too through the binoviewers.

Hi,

I was looking at your notes covering your dual rig build, and was wondering if you would provide more info on the custom adapter you used to solve the issues you had with guiding?

 

[swag72]

The guiding issues were sorted by using scope rings instead of the clamshells I was using previously. This is all covered in the thread I started about setting up the dual imaging rig and also on my website

Guess I missed bit

No dual night scopes yet. The AZEQ6 carries a heavy Meade 10" ACF . 

I can dual solar scope now though! I am doing outreach with this set up today.

Did a bit of imaging the other night, widefield and then closeup of same target.

Problems - not enough dew straps! Increasing the exposure time on the guidescope camera bought be more time it alas it succumb to dew around midnight (planning on packing up anyway )

Technically not a "dual" as such I guess as whilst they do point in pretty well identical places, it was pure coincidence, and they aren't used simultaneously.

The C8 is used mostly for Lunar and Planetary, with the Esprit for DSO's.

Here's a couple of mine from a few years back, I moved to OAG so no need for a guide scope now.

 

Hi Starflyer, was this taken at the Salisbury starparty ?

I thought I'd posted on this thread, but here goes

Main scope is the 130 f/7 with ASI1600MM-C and filer wheel. The FW has Baader LRGB and Astrodon HII filters. This is set up for the Leo Triplet

The piggy-back is the 80 f/4.4 with ASI183MM-C and filter wheel. The FW has ZWO LRGB filters and Baader HII. This is for Markarian's Chain, so the sensor is E-W.

All the power and data connections run through the mount. The slightly odd arangement of cables etc help the balance around the telescope axes. This mount is *very* sensitive to balance.

[GavStar]

Here’s a couple of my dual setups. The extra vixen clamp for the Panther mount is very handy.

I meant to post another couple of pics from the other side to show the cabling on the scopes.

From the rear, showing the power cable.

And from the front showing the USB hub on the mount.

Hi Bob,

It was indeed, what a great memory you must have.

Cheers,

I think this qualifies as a dual set up (just) as the 60mm has a planetary camera in it

Here's my slightly more humble pairing. Bresser 152mm and Opticstar 90mm. The baby frac usually has my dslr attached. ?
