One of my favourite hobbies over the past few years has been astronomy. Here are a few images of a few of the scopes I have owned over the years.
Would love to see your scopes if you have any images.

Nice, I have just inherited a decent scope but have not yet been able to get a clear sky to begin learning about it

That is what happens every time you acquire new astronomy gear...inclement weather. Welcome to astronomy.

My interest in Astonomy is simple. Just the Milky Way with a DSLR and a 14MM lens. Yours is deep and complex learning.
Welcome to the forum. Would love to see some of your images.

Nice. I'm glad I never got interested in that. Too much stuff! : )
Too much cost too for the amount of clear night I got in the UK.

I seem to have gone full circle. I am more interested in Milky Way images these days also

I had a 5” refractor for a couple years when we first moved to Colorado but the light pollution and summer inversion was discouraging. So, now I’m dependent on a pair of 15x70 binoculars and spotting scopes plus a couple semi local observatories. Plus, I’m lazy. On another semi related note, I really like your last picture!

I had a 10" Meade, it got way to heavy for me, I gave it to my son years ago.

Had a Celestron 6" refractor for some time. Even became a member of the Riverside Astronomical Society for a time. Vision problems ended that.

Nice set of machinery there Steve, but talk about GAS, I'd be broke in a week....
