Imaging Rig #2: Planetary Nebula & Wide Field; 4" Stellarvue SVX102T APO, 714mm FL, f/7

Description

Several folks have asked to see the equipment that I use to image.

This is the Stellarvue SVX102T mounted on an iOptron CEM70 mount with an iOptron Tri-Pier. The primary focuser on this scope is a Star Light Instruments 3" Feather Touch . The primary imaging camera is a ZWO ASI071MC Pro One Shot Color (OSC). The smaller scope on top is a Stellarvue 210mm guide scope; the camera is a ZWO ASI290MM. An Optec Focus Motor is used to provide extremely precise movements of the focuser to achieve precise focus.

All is controlled through a Surface Pro laptop via (2) USB cables. Acquisition software includes NINA, ASCOM, ASTAP, iOptron Commander / iPolar, PHD2, FireCapture, and SharpCap Pro. Image processing software is done through PixInsight.
