Space... The Final Frontier

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice.. I was just outside looking at the stars and thinking of how amazing the thought of a never ending space filled with these astral bodies is. Great pictures! You should add more soon.
 
Here is my big telescope,medium telescope and small scope.
The big scope is a Celestron CPC 1100 GPS.
It has a 11 inch mirror operating at f/11 and the base is a computerized GPS Go-To unit. It is a Fork Mount.
You just select what you want to see, and it Goes to it. :headbang2

The Medium and small scope is also on a Go-To unit, but it is a German EQ mount.
I use them for the wide feild, deep sky stuff like nebulas and galaxies.
The small telescope is a refractor and it has a 4" lens operating at f/7.5
The medium scope is a reflector and has a 10 inch mirror operating at f/4.7

The 4 inch is 600mm
The 10 inch is 1200mm
The 11 inch is 2800mm
