This is the primary astronomy equipment I use. If you’re interested in a beginner telescope, please read my FAQ with recommendations.
- Telescope #1: Stellarvue SVX-102D, a 4″ refractor. I love Stellarvue Telescopes: premium instruments made in the USA by a small company with amazing customer service.
- Telescope #2: Astronomics AT115EDT, a 4.5″ refractor.
- Mount #1: Losmandy GM8S, a push-to GEQ mount with tracking. Losmandy is another small American company making excellent astronomy tools.
- Mount #2: Desert Sky Astro DSV-2, a manual alt-az mount.
- Eyepieces: Pentax SMC XW (7, 14 & 30mm) and Baader Hyperion Zoom.
