O
This telescope is operational most clear nights and it's operation can be viewed below.  Images are obtained with a 16" Ion Milled RCOS Ritchey-Chretien telescope on a Paramount ME mount using a high quantum efficiency full frame ZWO ASI 6200MM CMOS back-illuminated camera and the Starlight Xpress AO (USB version).  A Starlight Xpress 9 position FW houses Astrodon Gen 2 LRGB and NB filters.  Focusing and rotation via Optec Gemini Focusing Rotator.  The computer is a Custom PrimaLuceLab Eagle4 Pro (modified with 62 GB RAM and a 4 TB internal SSD).  If you are interested in the SRO Virtual Astrophotographer Program, contact us at: [email protected].
