Telescope
used was a TeleVue 76mm APO Refractor. Camera was a DMK series Monochrome 1280x960
imaging onto a Lap Top Computer, shielded by a folding paper shield. The mount
was a
Takahashi Teegul Equatorial Mount Configured into a lighter weight Alt-azimuth
since tracking is not possible on a moving ship. The
Carbon Fiber Tripod was collapsed to the lowest level
for rigidity and stability. Sorbo-thane Pads absorbed ship vibrations.
Carrying cases
acted as a Computer Table and chair. |
