Wildwood Pines Observatory
Equipment
The main scopes I use for imaging are an Orion 190 mm f/5.3 Mak-Newt and a Stellarvue 102mm f/7.9 apochromatic refractor.
The mount is a Parallax HD 150 German equatorial. I control it using an old Macintosh G3 desktop running Voyager III software. Images are taken with an SBIG ST-2000XCM CCD camera (below left) or a Canon 30D DSLR camera (below right), controlled with a HP Compac laptop. Everything can be controlled from my house via a wireless network.
