Dual 200mm Canon Lens Astrophotography Rig Overview

Here is an overview of my customized Dual Imaging rig uses side-by-side 200mm Canon Lenses. The components are all secured via listed mounting hardware or 15lb outdoor velcro as necessary. I have customized all cabling (12v DC power, Dew Strap power, EQDirect USB Serial) when possible to match my specific needs and replaced all USB cables with the shortest possible lengths available. This telescope setup includes all required components necessary to just pick-up and head to the field. Extremely portable and easy to get going!

Total weight of what is displayed is 11.5lbs.
