GSO 16" Dobsonian Telescope
GSO truss tube 16" aperture delivers amazing views of deep space. I use this telescope for observational astronomy and planetary astrophotography.
Telescope Specification:
- Optical design: Newtonian Reflector
- 16" Parabolic primary mirror
- Focal length: 1800mm, F/4.5
- 2 " Precision Micro 10:1 Crayford style focuser
- 2 " 35mm Eyepieces Extension tube
- 18 points mirror cell w/ 4.7" cooling fan
Modifications:
- Upgraded the dobsonian mount's design and material to a long lasting teak wood.
- Made a Light shroud on my own.
- Upgraded the primary mirror collimation springs to stronger springs which doesn't lose the collimation while travelling.

Telescope Specification:
- Optical design: Ritchey-Chretien reflector
- Aperture: 203mm (8”)
- Focal ratio: f/8
- Focal length: 1600mm
- Primary & Secondary Mirror: Hyperbolic mirrors with enhanced Al coating to 95% reflectivity, with protective quartz layer.
CELESTRON ASTROMASTER 130EQ TELESCOPE
This is my first purchase towards my dream! I started Observational Astronomy and Astrophotography with this baby. This telescope is very close to my heart.
Telescope Specification:
- 130mm aperture
- Focal length: 650mm F/5
- Mount Type: CG-3 Equatorial
- RA axis Motor
Daystar Quark Chromosphere
Since 2020 June 21st eclipse I'v been using daystar quark for Solar imaging. Its been amazing so far.
SKY WATCHER AZ-EQ6 GT
I bought a used mount and paired it with my 80mm APO for Deep Sky Imaging
Star Adventurer
This little tracker is my first proper tracking mount for Deep Sky Astrophotography, I learnt many things and captured many pictures with this tracker since 2016.
CORONADO PERSONAL SOLAR TELESCOPE
It is a dedicated solar telescope, however it has got some issues with the internal filters. I'm looking forward to fix the issues soon.
Meade 90/900 Achromatic Telescope
I occasionally use this telescope for Public outreach events
Meade ETX 70AT Achromatic Telescope
This was my first Computerized telescope, after few months motors stopped working so i dismantled the scope and took the Optical tube assembly and modified it for Astrophotography.
Oberwerk 7x50mm Mariner / Selfmade Parallelogram
One of the best binoculars that I have ever used in my life, it is super sharp and crystal clear.
Made a very cheap Parallelogram with the help of my carpenter. Overall cost without the tripod was only 10$ USD
DSO Setup 1: RC8 + CCDT67 + ZWO OAG + ZWO 224MC + ZWO EFW 36mm + Antlia 3nm SHO, LRGB filters + ZWO294MMPro + AZEQ6
It is a Longer focal length setup (1084mm FL) to capture galaxies, nebulae and globular clusters.
DSO Setup 2: Esprit 80mm APO + Flattener + ZWO OAG + ZWO 224MC + ZWO EFW 36mm + Antlia 3nm SHO, LRGB filters + ZWO294MMPro + AZEQ6
It is a Medium focal length setup (400mm FL) to capture big nebulae, big galaxies, and open star cluster.
DSO Setup 3: Samyang 135mm lens + TSoptics 60mm guidescope + ZWO 224MC + ZWO EFW 36mm + Antlia 3nm SHO, LRGB filters + ZWO294MMPro + AZEQ6
It is a very wide-angle setup (135mm FL) for mostly very wide Nebulae.
