I am a retired USAF Crew Chief with 21 years on the F-15 Eagle and 3 years on the U-2 Dragon Lady. Now, I travel and work on corporate jets.

I've had a number of different telescopes growing up, then got out of the hobby until a couple of years ago. My wife bought me the Canon 90D and almost immediately, I started pointing it at the night sky. Then I got the Orion SpaceProbe 130ST EQ Reflector scope and started putting my camera on it. Now I'm obsessed with astrophotography!

My first dedicated rig includes SvBony 503 80ED Doublet Refractor, ASI533MC Pro, Celestron AVX, Orion 30mm Guide Scope, ASI120MM Guide Camera, ASIAir mini, and ZWO EAF. I worked with this for the last 2 years and now I have a second rig that I run.

My 2nd rig includes the following: Askar FRA300 Pro 60mm f/5 Quintuplet Petzval Flat-Field Astrograph, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro, Orion 60mm Guide Scope, ZWO ASI120MC-S Guide Camera, ZWO EAF, Atlas EQ-G Mount

Sorry for the distraction, U2 means the legendary scout plane which is only slower than SR-71? That's really cool!
