A night with the Redcat 51


Wiu-Wiu

Recommended Posts

I puzzled together a new imaging rig, wanting to go a little more widefield. Plan was to attach my canon EOS camera to it and throw it on a skyguider, making a nice and light mobile travel unit. 

Things turned out a little different. Taking the skyguider on the plane would have taken too much out of my 23 kg baggage limit. I also had added a small guidescope to be sure it stayed on track. So I rented a SW EQ3 mount on location. But then I figured I could as well buy that nice new camera I was eyeballing. 

And if I had all that, I should definately attach my spare EAF, so the thing could autofocus. 

 

Well, I could have done worse, I think.
