Portable Travel Rig
Grab-and-go refractor for casual observing and travel. The ZenithStar 73 fits in a backpack and delivers excellent views of the Moon, planets, and bright DSOs.

Widefield Nebula Imaging
A fast, wide-field imaging rig built on the Askar SQA55 quintuplet astrograph — a native-flat f/4.8 optic that frames large emission nebulae whole. Paired with the ASI2600MC Pro and an HEQ5 Pro, it's a proven narrowband-from-the-city setup.

Portable Deep-Sky Imager
A modern strain-wave imaging rig. The ZWO AM5N harmonic mount carries real payload with no counterweight and folds down small, while the Askar FRA400C quintuplet delivers a flat, fast field for nebulae and larger galaxies. Add the ASIAIR and a guide scope and you have a complete, travel-ready astrophotography setup that used to take a carload.
