Welcome to Bill D's corner of the net

This website will cover some of my hobbies.  I have been into 3D modelling and rendering, attempted to fly radio controlled helicopters, and even played around with robotics. Nowadays I am into Astro Photography. As it turns out this is my most expensive hobby yet. Having said that I enjoy it alot as it is also one of the most challenging.

Observatory - Equipment
Tuesday, 24 February 2009 18:23

The telescopes I currently have are:

  • Meade LX 200R  12"  - This is permanently mounted in the observatory on a Meade Ultra Wedge.
  • Meade LX 200 8"  - This I use as a field scope. I have the mega tripod that is for use for the 12 inch scope so it provides a nice stable platform. I also have a Meade super wedge with the Mitty slow-mo upgrade.
  • Saxon ED80 - This is mounted on the 12" scope in the obs, but If I go to a dark site I take it out into the field.
  • Lunt LS60THaDS - This is the latest aquisition. A solar scope.
