I have know Alex for some time. Started when he was working for Olympus now OM Systems. He has always had a great passion for astronomy and he is very busy doing it all the time. He especially like solar work and naturally I had to ask him about his approach to imaging the eclipse.
He also had some great and interesting new products there to show. Mainly their two new strain wave mounts. Both look like excellent additions to the industry. There is also a new scope but it was not there at NEAF.

First Impressions of 150-400 f4.5 OM System Lens

$Astro Physics NEAF 2025 All made designed and lovingly assembled here in the USA. Astro Physics is truly a giant in this industry and make some amazing refractors and mounts. It is my dream to some day own one of their mounts.$

Does the 2600MC DUO Guide? I found the answer.

Beautiful Tools = Better Art? Inspired by the OM3

$2600MC DUO Guides With Narrowband Filters Many skeptics have been quick to voice their doubts about this camera. Often they cite the failure of the much older SBIG cameras from 2003. However the future seams to have a place for this kind of camera and configuration. My own first time testing this was filled with a lot of surprise and delight that this tech is able to work now given just how sensitive new sensors are. I know the Qe of sensors has almost quadrupled since 2003 so on that metric alone it should, in a lot of ways, not be a surprise at all. Cue the music but if others do not or are not already working on similar cameras they are going to miss out on an important new segment of camera hardware. I myself do not like OSC cameras but I love the simplicity of this system and champion it ease of use because I know it will get more people into the hobby. Here is the scope I used. https://www.svbony.com/sv550-apo-refractor-122mm/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=benjamin&fbclid=IwAR3jGrNItI_ETVxt3oaqSXypcko_klsWoG94bt3946_7ORKYw5OuOcffsqE$
