Hi Group
I was wanted to post my recent setup which consists on my VRC10" scope with my TMB 80 mm refractor riding on top. Ever so often I will remove my TMB and replace it for wide field using camera lenses such as my 100 mm Macro f/2.8, 70 - 200 mm f/4 IS & 17 - 55 MM f/2.8 IS all Canon. I also still have my C9.25 from 2000 that is put away for now since I got the VRC10" scope. My Mounts the I use are the Celestron CG5-GT and my Losmandy G11 with the Gemini 1 go to. My Observatory was built in 2002 by using a Royal Garden Shed with modifying the roof for easy opening/viewing.
My cameras That I own are
Canon modified 40D DSLR MC Universe CCD camera MCX2 Class 0 ICX418AKL-A Colour MCX2 Class 0 ICX428AKL-A Mono SSI-C Imaging camera MC Jr. Pro Class 1 ICX418AKL-A Colour Orion Star Shoot Auto Guider
Thank you!

I have everything in the shed for control inside the observatory + my home computer is connected to the Observatory computer using Cat5 cable and VNC for remote on those cold winter nights
