Things have changed since the first SV camp back in 2005 when the field was full of silver tubed dobsonians and a few lx200's. Nowadays its mainly refractors on eq mounts with the number of cables hooked up to them accounting for the skyrocketing copper prices over the last few years.

In a field full of telescopes there were only a small handful actually equipped to take an eyepiece They missed some lovely views of Jupiter at dusk.

So here is my nod to astrophotography.
Canon A720IS snappy, single exposure 15sec , iso800, F-something?
