Current Astro Photography setup as of 2/01/02
My current setups are a Borg 125ED refractor on an AP 400 QMD mount and a 10" LX200. The LX200 is also equiped with a saddle adapter for using the Borg 125ED on the LX200 mount. I have also been doing some widefield imaging using a Nikon zoom lens on my ST7e. Most Images aquired and processed using MaxIm DL/CCD v3.0 and Photoshop v5.0 using the SBIG ST7e CCD camera. One thing that I have done to make things easier for setup etc is to build a pier on our back deck. It is fitted with interchangeable top plates, one for the AP 400 QMD and one for the LX200. This works out very nicely!
