Setup for First Light

From top to bottom:
- APM 115/805 APO refractor, with FLI Atlas microfocuser,
4.0" field flattener, Astrodon MMOAG,
Apogee AFW50-9R filter wheel,
and Apogee U8300 CCD
- Planewave A200HR equatorial mount
- Digital Loggers Web Switch III
(8 remote-controlled outlets)
- Particle Wave Technologies Monolith Pier
- Miles of cabling

Note that *all* of the cabling to the telescope passes through
the mount shafts. Mount can pivot to full extremes in both axes
without any risk of cable snags.
