Present setup: Paramount ME with Meade 16" LX200 OTA, ST-9XE and MoonLite Focuser. Telescope is mounted in an Andy Homeyer cradle to minimize flexure problems. EFL with focal reducer 2290 mm @ f/5.6, pixel resolution 1.8 arc sec/pixel. Collimation is critical with this system - CCD Inspector makes collimation easy. I also use FocusMax to maintain perfect focus while patrolling for supernovae.
