Description

Starting to assemble my 2024 Eclipse rigs. I want to run 3 telescopes. This rig: A Skywatcher 100ED in white light with the ASI1600mmPro. Frames a full Moon/Sun nicely. 2nd rig: A William Optics GT81iv in white light with the ASI2600mmPro. Wider framing and possible corona during totality. Both will run tandem on a Celestron CGX-L. 3rd rig will be a Skywatcher 72ED in Ha with a Quark and a ASI174mm on an EQ6-Pro mounting. A 4th rig will be an Orion 150Mak on an Atlas mounting for white light visual observation during the eclipse.
