Hello!

I you are interested in a dual rig, when two or more telescopes are placed on a single mount for imaging, please share your thoughts with us.

Michael, thanks for starting this group.

Here's my multi scope set-up.

My latest 2-fer:
Main Scope on M110:

Wide-field captures Andromeda:

Dithering for the simultaneous capture was managed by two instances of APT running, The exposures and delays were equal. Multi-camera sync was run in tight mode with the long FL scope (the 8" Edge) being the dithering server. PhD2 was controlling the actual dithering in server mode.

Hi,
this is my dual rig with two little baby newtonians:

I also use APT with PHD2 to synchronize and dither the two cameras. It works like a charm.

Usually I have OSC(DSLR) on one scope and dual band on the other one. And especially in the short summer nights I can double the exposure time.😃
