My telescopes

Just finished redecorating the home office (aka spare room) and took some photos of it. While I was at it, I thought I may as well take some
photos of my telescope collection.

1: This is a old (you can tell from the colour!) Celestron 8. Quick to set up.
2: A more recent (well 1991) vintage Celestron C8. This has the Argo Navis attached and the motor drive is from Astromeccanica.
It's on a Celestron/Vixen SP mount
3: Orion ED80 on a Vixen GP mount.

The ED80 gets the most use these days as it's easy to set ip (and I like looking at the moon).
The motors from the SP mount also bolt on to the GP mount but the Argo Navis requires different encoder mountings.

One day, I'll try out some astrophotography, hopefully with better results than these three, that wall is actually yellow :-)
