Like many other amateur astronomers I own several telescopes and mounts for different purposes such as planetary and Deep Sky oberving and imaging. Find here some information and reviews of the instruments I mainly use.
Takahashi FSQ 106-ED
Intes Micro MN76
Celestron 11
GSD Dobson 300 deluxe
12″ f/5 Newtonian-Dobson
Aperture, aperture, aperture! This scope is an impressive and powerful observing instrument for faint Deep-Sky objects, good quality at an unbeatable price. The telescope is still transportable in my mini van. The telescope was “pimped up” by Wolfgang “Howdii” Howurek and got a new rocker box.
Fornax 51 mount
German equatorial mount, 30 kg load capacity
This German equatorial mount from the Hungarian company Fornax 2002 Ltd. is my platform for astrophotography. The low periodic error of +/- 5-6 arcseconds and the equable running of the motors supports long-term astrophotography. The Pulsar drive controllerof Andras Dan enables Goto and helps to minimize time for locating the targets.
