I have my  Meade 12” LX200-ACF scope mounted with a Optec-Lepus 6.2 focal reducer and the AO-8 adaptive optics device. Imaging will continue when we have clear skies.   My camera  for deep sky imaging is the  SBIG  ST-2000XCM. For Solar System imaging I usually use the Meade LPI camera and plan to start using the Orion Starshoot 5 MP Solar System Color Camera soon .  Focusing is done using Robo Focus.   All of the above can be controlled remotely from inside my house.
