Equipment List
The following are most of the Equiment Items that I currently own and use.
Astrophotography is a very expensive hobby! It requires a major investment in Time, Equipment and Patience in order to be able to capture High Quality CCD Images. Anyone seriously considering taking it up as a hobby should first have their head examined…
Be Warned! Once you get started you won't be able to stop and you are never happy with your current set of Equipment!

These two pictures were taken on the day my 16RC Telescope arrived.
The 1st picture is of the Thermodyne Travel Case that I had custom made for the 16RC Telescope.
The 2nd picture is a Size-Comparison of the 16RC Telescope along side a nice wooden Chair I own.
