I was out early last night and set everything up while it was still light, so I decided to take a few photos of my DSO imaging rig.
I've got the EQ6, and sitting on top in a side-by-side is the Saxon ED80 (the black one) and the no-name widefield refractor (the white one).
In the Saxon ED80 is the WO 0.8x type II reducer and my Canon 350D.
In the widefield refractor is the DMK21AF04 as the guide camera.
I'm using the Shoestring Astronomy GPUSB to connect to the EQ6 guide port, I've got a firewire powered hub to a PCMCIA firewire card to run the DMK21AF04, and a serial and USB cable going to the 350D to control the focus and acquisition of the objects.
I've also attached an older image of my planetary imaging setup for those that haven't seen it yet. The red thing is that is the external harddrive that I capture planetary data to.
Thanks for looking.
