Telescope

Borg are the dark horse of Astronomy in our opinion, they deliver good value very fast well corrected scopes that perform almost as well as couture brands for half the price, they have none of the cool down focusing issues that many have either

CMOS Camera

The ZWO ASI-6200MM Pro Mono 35mm 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.
