Astrophoto Setup - a photo on Flickriver

Astrophoto Setup

            This is a tweak to my existing set up.  I swapped the astrotrac scope with the polarie polar scope.  It works well, just isn't illuminated.  Pretty stupid design.  I also got the astrotrac wedge to replace the bogen geared head's place in the set up.  I took out the ball head on the top, and put the geared head in its place.  It makes it much easier to fine tune what i'm shooting with the geared head.  I don't use regular batteries often.  Usually I just use the battery pack that I use to jump start the car.  (note my "carpentry" skills used to attach the wedge to the tripod....sad.)
