Telescope

This is a "656 telescopes" by peter Shah corrected Dall Kirkham with a nice flat field and a moderate speed for the aperture at F6.8, at 2017mm its a great focal length.

Please note: The maximum sub length we will do on this pier is 300s

Camera

The ZWO ASI-6200MM Pro Mono CMOS is one of Sony's new generation zero ampglow sensors. They are super sensitive with very low noise. Making them a paradym shift from the CCD cameras we are all used to using and require much shorter exposures.
