Our dear friend Vineet Bewtra in London, UK, has transported his trusty Tele Vue-76 APO refractor to Kagga Kamma Remote Observatory (KKRO) at the southern tip of South Africa, 180 km (110 miles) northeast of Cape Town. Located in a wilderness area known as the Cederberg, at 1200 meters (4000 ft) above sea level, the arid skies offer Bortle-1 seeing for astro imagers and views of wind-carved sandstone formations during the day. The shift from imaging at latitudes 52° North to 32° South has dramatically changed his astrophotography experience. This blog covers his journey through 84 degrees of latitude and provides a learning experience for others wishing to install a remote telescope.

All the planetary oppositions will happen in the seasons when the nights are longer and planetary conjunctions are sprinkled throughout the year.

The new 24mm Delos model meets the same design goals as current Delos plus features 22 mm of eye relief. While ideal for eyeglass wearers, the easily adjustable, locking eye guard is included for those who don’t wear eyeglasses. Correct positioning of the eye guard helps position your eye pupil to the telescope’s exit pupil, as well as blocks contrast-robbing stray light from interfering with the view, plus it mitigates dew formation on the eyelens.
