Mikel's Setup: Off to Chile, Too!
Mikel’s Full Rig Heads to Chile, and My Setup Gets an Upgrade!
First Marian’s, now Mikel’s! Another complete setup is making the journey to Chile:
- Skywatcher EQ8 Mount
- Takahashi FSQ-106 Refractor
- Takahashi 0.72x Focal Reducer
- Moravian G3-16200 Camera + Moravian Filter Wheel
- Baader 2” Filters: Ha, OIII, SII, L, R, V, B
- Sky Meca SkyTrack 2.5” Off-Axis Guider (OAG)
- Starlight Xpress LodeStar Autoguider Camera
Installation is slated for March. This fantastic setup will find its new home in Observatory #1 at Deep Sky Chile and will be shared between Mikel and myself. With a pier opening up in Petit Borobia, my own setup will return to its original spot on its dedicated column. And guess what? I’ve gone ahead and ordered an EQ8-R Pro mount from Pierro-Astro for it!
A spot is opening up in the observatory…
