SVX140andBT 127

June 15, 2023. It should be clear tonight into the early morning hours. I've set up my Stellarvue 140 f6.8 refractor on a Paramount MYT with a ZWO ASI6200MC camera. I'm using a small EvoGuide 50mm f5 guide scope with ZWO ASI120MM mini guide camera. For when I'm not imaging, I have an Oberwerk BT-127 set up on a Manfrotto tripod with an iOptron HAZ31 mount head for GOTO and tracking. I can use this set up with or without paired night vision PVS-14 white phosphor L3 monoculars, which I usually put on Televue 15mm DeLite eyepieces. So both bases, photography and observing, are covered.... just not at the same time (too much vibration caused by observing on the deck while simultaneously doing imaging). Fortunately, I have a couple of other decks available.
