Equipment list
Scopes: Meade 8" LX90 SCT, Meade 80mm ED, Officina Stellare 80mm APO
Mount: Orion Sirius EQ-G on a permanent pier from SkyShed Observatories
Cameras: Meade DSI-Pro II

I've made some pretty significant changes in my setup recently. I installed a pier from SkyShed Observatories (the Pod People) and I'm in the process of building an enclosure for the entire system. It's really just an extension of the shed I've always used as a base of operations. It will have a modified roll-off roof and should let me keep things permanently ready to go.

I also recently removed my LX90 OTA from the fork mount, since it's dead, and added a dovetail plate from ADM accessories to the tube so I can mount it on the EQ mount and image through it. I haven't decided if I'll put a guide scope on top or pick up an off-axis guider so that I can avoid the excess weight on top.
