An Inexpensive Entry into Astrophotography
The MIN-EQ is an inexpensive "tabletop" German Equatorial Mount which allows you, wih the addition of the Orion EQ-1M Electronic Drive System, to take long exposure photographs of the stars without showing "trailing" (an effect of the Earth's rotation which becomes apparent during long photographic exposures causing stars to appear, not as pinpoints of light, but as circular lines). The mount is particularly well suited for beginning wide-field astrophotography. For more information on astrophotography, please see Astrophotography for the Amateur by Michael A. Covington.

Do you have more than one telescope?
If you love your Telrad, use it on more than one telescope by buying extra bases for your other telescopes. Unless you are precise, or lucky, you will have to realign (collimate) your Telrad to each telescope after you move from one to the other. A good idea if you use only one of your telescopes at a time, or if you have a few "GoTo" scopes, and just use the Telrad for initial alignment. ... Read more
