My Remote Imaging Rig in Texas

Just this past month, I have become the official owner of this wonderful telescope system at Starfront Remote Observatories. Under pristine B1 skies, it doesn't get too much better for imaging!

Why did I get a remote telescope?

The art of discovery

Over the past year now, it has been a dream of mine to discover something of my own in the night sky. However, with my  high B5 backyard skies, along with poor weather and a bad horizon, I have been sort of forced to look elsewhere for my data. Hence, remote imaging became my number one choice.


The rig I was looking for sort of popped up into my hands. I needed a large, fast scope capable of doing fast surveys, as well as a reliable system that I knew would be problem free. That - is exactly what I am currently using! The rig I am using is currently hosted at Starfront Remote Observatories in Brady Texas. 

A new "discovery" by myself, "The Dancing Horse Nebula"

The setup(the big pieces)

Astro-Physics Mach2 GTO

Probably astro-physics's best mount ever made.  Currently it is slightly unbalanced so guiding is perfect as it should be, but the AE's are super nice. 

Takahashi Epsilon E-160ED

A blazing fast hyperbolic newtonian. At f/3.3 at 530mm, I can do fast surveys as well as get some pretty nice details in my data. 

Player One Poseidon M Pro

Just like my 268M, same IMX571 sensor so should be fine. Paired it with Astronomic 6nm Max FR SHO and LRGB 36mm filters in a Player one CFW.
