Astronomer by Night.
November 2017
A purchase of a Skywatcher EQ6 mount and a skywatcher 12inch Newtonian telescope is going to be the next starry night adventure. I decided in March 2016 to buy a Celestron Advance VX mount for setting up in the back garden and weekends away.
Back in 2014 I moved from a telescope set up to a photographic one for dual use purpose. So I am able to make the most out of day time photography and astro photography at night. Since I enjoy them both, this seems the ideological choice at the minute. (May 2015) Dec 2014 I purchased a Star adventurer to be able to continue with a more portable set up for dark sky astro work. Previously to these different mount set ups Ive had the chance to use a AstroTrac, Vixen Polarie and an ioptron ZEQ25. all of which had its ups and downs but had played an important role while learning the technical side of things.
