Imaging 1:(Click for pic)

This is my most used set-up that I use at the OCA's observing site in Anza, CA

• Takahashi NJP German Equatorial mount
• Takahashi FSQ 106 refractor telescope F/D=5.0 F.L. = 530mm
• SBIG STL-11000M CCD camera
• SBIG STV standalone autoguider
• BORG 76mm Achromatic refractor with Front Focus option Guide scope
• Takahashi FS-60C refractor with sky-90 f/4.5 focal reducer

All of the above is mounted on a custom fabricated permanent pier. Custom Piers available by request in any size and configuration. Please e-mail me for quotes leon@socalastro.com 

In addition to the above listed cameras, I have used, and continue to use in one form or another various film and digital cameras depending on the situation. These are some of the other cameras:

• Canon EOS 620 film SLR
• Canon EOS 1 film SLR
• Canon EOS 1D Mk II Digital SLR
• Phillips ToUcam color webcam

Last, but not least, my most unusual piece of astro equipment is my 2003 Honda Element EX AWD (pic). In addition to using it to haul my astro equipment, it also serves as a nice comfortable place to sleep in while those long exposures are being taken.
