My Equipment and Setup

My pride in equipment is the CPC925. I have eye pieces in the range of 9mm to 40mm. None of the fancy expensive ones.

For imaging I use a Philips SPC900NC webcam which I run of my Toshiba laptop. For a wider field of view and longer exposures I use a Canon Rebel XTi.

I am experimenting with a wedge to take care of the field rotation created by stars in long exposures. The images tell the story as I experience it.
