Meade are supplying me the 216 and 416 CCD cameras.

The small field objects, including Jupiter, were all taken with the C-14. The wide field ones were taken with a 100mm, 400mm FL Pentax lens on top of the C-14. The dumbell image was taken with a Takahashi Epsilon 250 Astrograph.

No, the planets were taken at f/27 using the C-14 and a 2.5X televue barlow.
