Backyard Astro
A picture of one configuration of my 'deep sky' equipment in use at Hawker. Nikon D810A and 300mm f2/8 VR, Canon 7Dmk2 and 300mm f2.8 L non IS, home made mounting rail system on a Losmandy dovetail plate, also with an Orion 50mm guidescope for autoguiding with ZWO camera. Celestron CGEM2 Goto EQ mount. Very dry on this night so no dew heating required. Both cameras controlled by Astro Photography Tool, guiding by PH2. I added a light to show the equipment but without that light the cameras are in a shadow of the sodium vapour street lamp lighting the trees in the background.
