A
10 inch Meade LX200 lives under a handy roll-away observatory and is kitted for astrophotography with a 70mm guidescope. A semi -permanent pier carries a big 6 inch achromatic refractor from Helios on an undriven German mount and a lovely TeleVue Genesis apochromatic refractor rides on a Gibraltar mount in a little corner of its own. Eyepieces, charts and guide books are plentiful and of top quality. (Eyepieces include Nagler, Radian, Panoptic, Plossl and Orthoscopic.) >>>More >>>
