Some shots of my LXD55 10" Schmidt Newtonian Rig

On the tripod for a temporary spell indoors to set up the computer links and get the focuser and such working.

The main counterweights are pointing at the camera. The shaft at about 4 o'clock is intended to counterbalance the focuser - filter wheel - eyepiece - camera and what have you.

A regular eyepiece installed in the filter wheel (5 11/4" filters) with the focuser motor just below. They finderscope has a webcam connected, but the cmos chip is I think not sensitive enough.
