My First Telescope

I owned my Unitron Model 131 for about 3 years and over that time managed to turn it into a "Photo-Equatorial" by adding a guidscope and a "Synchronous motor drive". My ambition was to try some deep sky photography. But without a dedicated asto camera and only a 35mm SLR jury rigged to the prime focus, that proved way too difficult.
