Regular Telescope Setup

M81 M82 Ngc3077 Findingchart

The following telescope setup has been built to do regular astrophotography in a portable environment. Well, it should be easily transportable to be used away from the light dome of the city.

Because of a limited view towards north and bright city lights the following 1st light of M81, M82, NGC3077 and several smaller galaxies has been created from 30 second subframes.
