What's your favourite setup?

[gregbradley]

Mine is the AP Honders and Proline 16803.
About to be restarted.

But one scope does not do all and this one is best suited to widefield scenes.

I am very fond of my Nexstar 8SE. But every time I get the Obsession 18" out and let it cool down I think "I must do this more"

[Ukastronomer (Jeremy)]

Before this turns into a mine is a better one than yours, I assume Favorite does NOT mean who has the most expensive to show off !!!

Mine is simply my ed72 skywatcher on Gitzo tripod, used for terrestrial and Moon, stays in the car, quick and easy

Therefore "favorite" and not most expensive

Hope this doesn't turn into a mine is better than yours, there is no "Bar" it is favorite setup so no BAR

Visually, my iStar 127mm, R30, f12 on my observatory CGX.
Imaging, my TS 115mm Triplet APO on the CGX.

Maybe this one ( it's like trying to pick your favourite child...)

Sweet!

You'll have to report back about its performance.

A low cost rig and a great all rounder for imaging under my Bortle 3 / 4 skies south coast NSW

I'm very much in the same boat.
I only own one telescope, so what I own is my favourite.

[LewisM]

I’ll third what Suavi said. More than enough, covers everything I want to do.

My comment was intended as a complement, not as an invitation to a teenager-style competition

[Atmos (Colin)]

It's been a long road but I'm thinking my RH200 could become my favourite once I remove this last 40 microns of tilt! At least for dark skies, in Melbourne longer focal length imaging may be better. Oh the difficult decisions!

Most of my favourite shots have been from a 5" F/5 refractor though so that muddies the waters a bit... Sigh...

I know

I guess my favorite the one I use the most. This setup has everything that is not recommended for astrophotograpy but it works well anyway. My daughter wanted to join in with some imaging of the recent Saturn occultation so I put a 4" refractor on top for her, must be 20kgs on top and the old HEQ5 didn't flinch.

Nice, though a bit surprising that the HEQ5 held it steady
