My deep sky astro work is done with my 8 inch Meade LX200 SCT, sometimes with a piggyback camera for wider fields.

Jupiter passes Orion,
And comes into junction with Mars.
Saturn is weaving through infinite space
To its preordained place in the stars.
And I gaze at the planets in wonder,
At the time and trouble they expend,
All to warn me to be careful
In dealings involving a friend.
