How many of you own more than one telescope?

I personally have 6;

80mm Orion Short Tube refractor

82mm Skywatcher Evolux refractor

90mm Meade Maksutov

125mm Meade Maksutov

6 inch Celestron SCT

12 inch Meade SCT

I don’t use all of them for astrophotography, I use the 82mm, 6inch, and the 12inch for that, the 125mm mak I use for visual lunar and planetary. The 90mm Mak I use sometimes for solar viewing, and the 80mm just sits. Had it for so long I hate to part with it, but then I’ve been in this hobby visually since 1965. Had a couple before this lineup with that being a 50mm tasco table top refractor and an 8inch Meade SCT, which stupidly I sold years ago.

I’ve got three OTAs:

SW 150 Espirit
SW Quattro 250
WO Redcat 61

All three are on a SB Paramount MEII mount although I only image with one at a time. I really got tired of switching OTAs.

The setup is on a backyard permanent pier that is operated remotely from a second floor office. I have a custom cover with zippers (for ease of covering-uncovering) and is year round weather-proof.

However, Ohio weather is becoming progressively more cloudy and I’m really considering shipping it all to a remote site in the US.

One Samyang 135mm lens, an Askar SQA55 (264mm focal) and an Askar 120APO (672-840mm focal).

So that’s three in total and mostly covers pretty well the range of focal length I can exploit under my seeing. Maybe something in the 400-500mm range might be useful but I feel like my SQA55 is sharp enough that it’s not mandatory.

I can technically field two set up at once, I have enough components for that, but I haven’t tried yet. Maybe I’ll do now that the weather is starting to give more clear nights again.

Hello, I own three telescopes: a TS Photoline 80 mm f/7, a TS UNC 150/750 mm carbon Newtonian, and a C8 on a NEQ5 GoTo with OnStep, and I will soon have another mount, the Mlastro SAL33

Let’s call it 3.5:

• Edge HD 9.25 + 0.7x reducer + Hyperstar

• Askar FRA 300

• Samyang 135 f/2, plus various Canon lenses that I can attach to my astro cameras

Have 3 Telescopes :

1. Skywatcher 150P Reflector

2. Askar SQA 55 Refractor

3. Seestar S 50 - Smart Telescope

May go for a long FL one for imaging smaller Galaxies and objects

1) FSQ-106 edx4 rigged for astrophotography (used telephoto lenses before that)

2) 12” GSO dob for observations, which I’ve owned for 10+ years and used for sidewalk astronomy quite often

Plus an assortment of prime lenses for landscape AP and comets.

I honestly can’t imagine getting anything else for AP in the near future, I’ve only just begun unpacking the capabilities of FSQ, and barely have time to process what little data I capture. And the road is still very long. I’d perhaps consider a much, much larger dob under some dark skies, but that might impede how often I’d use it. Our local astronomy club has a 16” and a 12” dob at a very dark site, and half the time we take out the 12” anyway.
