Hi
Just wondering what sort of equipment you folks have.
Just to get the ball rolling , I have my own LX90 8' LNT. Most of my eyepieces are meade 4000 (15" 26" 32") and 3000 (9"). I also have a 6' wide field (tal 1.25') which I use for planetary viewing. I also recently ventured into the realm of 2' eyepiece and purchased a 32" Moonfish eyepiece. Wow was I impressed by views I got from this rather inexpensive but excellent quality eyepiece.
For planetary imaging I use my spc900 webcam which gives me great results witht he moon and planets. I am slightly hindered here by my cheap meade short barlow. Mayby I will get a better quality one later.
For imaging I use my CCD which is an ATIC 16IC. Results so far have been very good given the small FOV of the lx90 at f10.
Astrozap heating strips and dew shield to keep off the dreaded dew. Guess thats basically about it
