The camera is a Starlight Xpress Trius H694 with a SX Filter wheel. The focuser is a Lakeside. The RC Astrograph focus assembly was replaced to allow for the increased weight of the camera. All this is mounted on an Az EQ6 Pro controlled by EQMOD and Astroart 6.0 automated using the software available on this site Observation Manager 9.11. This software automates a nights image capture including all the focus, filter changes and exposures/ dark frames.
