Things that you Bump in the Night

This is a list of equipment that I currently use or have used in the past. I'll try to keep it up to date. Some of these are reviews from when I first got the equipment and some are simply information about each piece. Let me know what you would do differently, what you would keep or sell, and if you want to trade some gear, feel free to reach out! If you want to know where I shop, it's primarily Astronomics, High Point Scientific, and of course, Amazon! More information is available at my support page.
