So an array. Very nice.
10 x Canon 400 f/2.8L IS II
Some planetary ZWO camera (colour) for guiding... a single guide scope too!
Plus a whole bunch of ZWO cameras on the back. I'm trying to see what models, but the resolution is poor.
More pics here.

ZWO ASI183 according to their GitHub (https://github.com/AstroHuntsman/huntsman-image-stream)

I hadn't heard of this, I'll be very interested to see how it all goes. My thanks for the heads up!

I just read my mail from Bintel , apparently they supplied all the ZWO cameras for the Huntsman

Certainly an unusual looking rig , hopefully they capture some important data for research and pretty pictures as well
