Telescope

I own 20cm (8") f/4.5 Orion Optics Europa newton telescope. I bought it in december 2006.It's upgraded version - with 2" cryford focuser, HILUX coatings and 1/10 P-V wave optics. With 900mm of focal length it is very useful for deep-sky astrohotography - it can be used for smaller objects (galaxies) and for bigger (nebulas). With Multi Purpose Coma Corector of Baader Planetarium it is a great combination for long-exposure photography because it is very sharp.

Mount

I bought Vixen GP-DX with SkySensor 2000 PC german equatorial mount in the summer 2006. It is very quality and tracks very smooth. It has over 30.000 objects stored in the memory - many more I will ever capture!

Autoguiding equipment

For autoguiding I use Sky-Watcher 80mm f/5.0 telescope. Meade LPI is attached on it and connected with computer. With this combination I have at least 2 stars in the field everywhere in the night sky. I use K3CCD software for autoguiding.
