JohnG's Astrophotography Adventures

The Misty Glen Observatory.

The Observatory is a 2.3m Sirius Home Model on a 2.4m square wooden base. The Observatory is situated on the outskirts of the rural town of Cootamundra, NSW, Australia in the SouthWest Slopes region with skies normally reaching an SQM reading of over 21.

Equipment consists of a Takahashi FSQ-106ED mounted on a Takahashi NJP mount with Temma 2 control, the Takahashi FS-60CB is used as a guiding scope. A Moravian Instruments, G2-8300 monochrome CCD camera with Astronomics LRGBHa filters will be the main imaging camera. A Vixen VC200L is now part of the equipment and will be used on the second pier for both visual and imaging with the ST8300C.

Additional equipment consists of a Takahashi Sky 90 and a Takahashi FS-60CB on a portable Takahashi EM-200 mount with Temma 2M for GOTO control. The SBIG ST2000XM is mainly for use with this rig.
