12" F/3.8 AG12 Wynne Corrected Newtonian

Orion Optics make great fast Newtonians and this one is coupled with a high grade 1/10wave mirrors and a great corrector

It's fitted with Player One's Zeus zero amp glow 35mm sensor & Antilia's latest gen LRGB HOS imaging filters, which should make the most of the scopes superb optics

Pier-27 is a very fast F/3.8 system, when used with a CMOS sensor, the longest exposure needed for this pier is 300 seconds
