Equipment

 

My first telescope, a homemade 150mm (F/D=8) Newtonian. I was 15 years old.

 

 
The Celestron 11 (280mm Schmidt-Cassegrain) with the Losmandy G11 mount.
   

And since 3 years, the Celestron 14 (355mm Schmidt-Cassegrain) on a Losmandy HGM200 mount. The telescope weights more than 370lbs.
