My Equipment
It was not easy traveling with 8 checked-in luggages and 4 carry-ons dedicated to astronomy equipment.
I brought along two AP900 GOTO mounts for two simultaneous imaging platforms. A Takahashi FSQ106 was
used to achieve a midfield image scale while a Zeiss 300mm and a Canon 135mm lenses were used for wider
field objects. The site was exceptionally dark. I could not see any light domes all the way down to the
horizon in the South direction. There were mountain ranges on both the Eastern and Western sides but did
pose a problem for imaging.
