/// Main deep sky setup

UNC200, QHY294M Pro, Pegasus Astro Universal Focus Motor, Skywacther EQ6-r Pro

This is my main deep sky setup for astrophotography. The optics of the setup consists of a UNC Newtonian from Teleskopservice with 200 mm diameter and 1’000 mm focal length. My Comacorrector, the Maxfield x0.95, reduces the Focallenght to 950 mm and makes the telescope a bit faster. The telescope is mounted on a Skywatcher EQ6-R pro. For guiding the mount I use PHD2, and the QHY OAG M with a ZWO ASI 220MM mini.
