When you really want some 2nd hand astrogear, you look up when does the largest yearly astroevent in the country happens, and realize it was LAST WEEK. I am so, so displeased with the way time works.

Hi Folks,
I just published a post on the initial setup of my new "Galaxy" scope: Sharpstar SCA260 V2, IOptron CEM70, & ASI2600MM-Pro Camera.
I even show a huge screw up I made. Learn from it!

I removed the IR cut filter on an old Nikon to get extended Hα range for astro! It's pretty neat and effective, though you'll likely want to replace it with a clear filter to retain AF, or have a place like Astrogear do it for you.
