My Scope in the field

ATM DIY Dob Observing Reflector Visual

My Scope in the field

My scope set up for observing from the dark skies of the San Juan Basin. The scope is a 12.5" f/5.1 newtonian. The primary mirror was refigured by the late Steve Swayze in 2018. The details captured by my high-resolution astrophotography speaks to the quaility of the mirror. I built this ultralight scope in 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic.It is a GoTo scope, driven by an OnStep system, running off of a battery. It takes about 20 minutes to assemble the scope at a remote site. It is an absolute joy to use!
