One for the Christmas list...

I was poking about on Aliexpress and stumbled across a couple of interesting items. An awfully convenient way to get quick LRGB images!

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/ASTROSHOP-telescope-ARRAY-TA-70/1371081_32823628159.html 4 70mm quadruplets

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Astroshop-telescope-ARRAY-TA-80/32816662435.html Or 4 CF 80mm triplet APO 'fracs, optionally supplied with a QHY163m each.

Anyone want to buy me one? Although my AVX may struggle a little...

That could be a lot cheaper by using doublets, seems a shame to waste an APO on single colour imaging, the exception being the Luminance filter of course, that would need good correction for CA.

If I had a rig like this it would be for narrowband imaging. On Moonlit nights that are no good for Oiii you could get 2 X Ha and 2 X S2, and on the nights OK for Oiii you could get 4 at once!

That's a lot of filters though

Hmm, now I've had an idea... 3xST80 (R, G, B or SHO), 3d-printed tube rings and cheap guidecams (touptek, ASI120mm, QHY5l II etc). Tempting...

As an alternate multi-scope array you could always look at the Predator system from Holland - http://www.jtwastronomy.com/products/predator.html

i had a bit of contact with them in the summer and even though I decided to do my own thing, they were very helpful and will make custom sizes.

If I had one of those, and got called "4-eyes" by all the guys in the club, I wouldn't feel insulted.
