Equipments



My telescope is presently a 130mm (5") f/6 Astro-Physics APO refractor. These instruments produce pinpoint sharp images with very high contrast.
APO refractor is the most beloved by both astrophotographers and visual observers.

My mount is an AP 900GTO from Astro-Physics.

My CCD camera is a ST-10XME from SBIG equipped with a remote head for guiding, a CFW9 filterwheel outfitted with Astrodon LRGB filters, and with Baader-Planetarium Ha, OII and SII narrowband filters.

Focusing is not a simple task to do, I'm very satisfied with the Robofocus focuser and the wonderful Focusmax software.

I'm now taking my evenings imaging session fully automated tanks to ACP5 software
