A pair of Apogees - 127mm and 102mm. Both around f/6.5 and resting on a Meade LXD650. It will handle both for OK for visual use, but I don't mount them like this very often. It usually has a C6-R or an AT80EDT/Zenithstar 66SD combo. But the blue scopes are pretty.

Just one more shot. The 127 has a new Seibert 36mm coupled to a recently acquired Seibert 2x, 3x, 4x Telecentric Power Mag Wheel. I only need a couple of eyepieces anymore.

It's a sky-watcher 9x50 finder scope, I just unscrewed the eyepiece and fit the autoguider in place with some electrical tape on the inside. (It's a perfect fit!)
I think the scope is about 200mm in focal length (f/4).

My humble but most excellent Tele Vue Ranger. A truly wonderful travel scope. Complete with a very special signature!

My current rig..
Apogee Ortho-Star Lomo 80mm F/6 Triplet APO + William Optics Zenithstar 70ED guider.
I've only had this one a week, but It has definitely changed my views on astroimaging instruments... I am a convert.. I used to love mirrors... I now love lenses... That TMB/LOMO 80/480 is amazing in every way..

William Optics Megrez 102ED SV in Lamborghini yellow and Orion ST80:
Fairly new to refractors and will have to say I like it much - seeing more belts/details on Jupiter and the Galilean moons are distinct circular discs. Very sharp.
Best,
