This is a very mobile setup, a combination of
o Canon 400D/Astroversion Baader
o Leica ApoTelyt 180mm/3.4 lens (I think one of the best Leica
ever made, concerning optical resolution) the
o AstroTrac Mount and a
o Berlebach stative
The Pentax 75/500, here in a visuell widefield setup with the TeleVue Panoptic 41mm.
This Ultra-Mobile setup is packed in a 35 Liter backpack. It contains a tent s.b., a small compressed sleeping bag (filled with feathers), cooking devices and an espresso maschine ;-)
The one person tent is a very small version, which can be highly compressed. This is possible due to the silicon isolation of the very resistant fabric.

Wer in südlicheren Gefilden Ferien macht, weiss, dass die Mondsichel dort manchmal ganz flach, wie ein Boot, am Himmel steht. Ist dies auch bei uns möglich? 
New images from ESA?s Mars Express show the Syrtis Major region on Mars. Once thought to be a sea of water, the region is now known to be a volcanic province dating back billions of years.
