I have been tooing and frowing as to whether I should sell this scope since NOVEMBER?!? I’ve only used it twice since the RH200 arrived and I keep telling myself that one day I’ll get a dual imaging setup going.
Firstly, I gave my new (old) Nikon D810 its first light. (https://www.astrobin.com/full/330202/0/) The second night was for the Super Blue Blood Moon (https://www.astrobin.com/full/332125/0/) where I learned that you need to change exposures as the eclipse starts :P
Also that you can capture DSO images under a full super moon!
For the past week I’ve been telling myself that I am far more likely to have a dual imaging rig going if one of those is a wide angle DSLR setup; a 50mm or 135mm or something.
So, now I’m putting this up before I change my mind again! These can be used visually with a special VERY short back focus 1.25” diagonal but it is first and foremost an astrograph.
It hit its 2 year birthday around April 4th and here is a link to most of the images taken in those two years (https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=SKY%20ROVER%20130mm%20Sextuplet& search_type=0&license=0&license=1&l icense=2&license=3&license=4&licens e=5&license=6&telescope_type=any&te lescope_type=0&telescope_type=1&tel escope_type=2&telescope_type=3&tele scope_type=4&telescope_type=5&teles cope_type=6&telescope_type=7&telesc ope_type=8&telescope_type=9&telesco pe_type=10&telescope_type=11&telesc ope_type=12&telescope_type=13&teles cope_type=14&telescope_type=15&tele scope_type=16&telescope_type=17&tel escope_type=18&telescope_type=19&te lescope_type=20&telescope_type=21&t elescope_type=22&camera_type=any&ca mera_type=0&camera_type=1&camera_ty pe=2&camera_type=3&camera_type=4&ca mera_type=5) as some never made it to the light of day.
$4,250 pickup preferred but it can be posted. It lives in a padded double boxed case (coffin) so it lays in rest.
