Equipment

Some stories about my equipment. It is a never ending story. Altough every amateur astronomer knows this, here is a brief outline of the system I use. Sometimes more focused on the technology than on the instruments.

Avalon Linear

Carries my main system. I want to use it as well in my garden as in the outer and darker areas. Hence the system has to be fully portable for me.
