Second version of the Wide Field Scope 11-13-03


	No light bouncing back from this lens !!!
DEC drive plus box of spare parts	RA drive
The GMV-EX6K / MINTRON 12V1E-EX CCD camera. I haven't had a chance to make a better mounting bracket..	Magnified CCD image sensor visible through the lens. Reflections are from flash on camera 1 foot from lens.

This scope is remote controlled from inside the house.
No finder scope is needed due to the 16 - 160 mm (93 mm objective) Fujinon motorized ZOOM lens.

This scope is a HUGE improvement over the 1st widefield scope better known as the garbage can scope
