It's a collection of stuff I've put together on the cheap from Craigslist, yard sales, Cloudynights and Ebay, I've had some astro gear for a long time and I just keep trading around, sell one piece and use the money to buy something else I want, once the initial depreciation has hit astro gear, scopes, mounts, eyepieces and so on tend to keep their value quite well. Cameras are improving all the time, I'm swapping up right at the moment from a Canon 350D to a Sony NEX C3 which will have twice the megapixels, dramatically better sensitivity and lower noise and yet I'll get more for the Canon than I just paid for the Sony.
My mount is an iOptron Cube Pro with an equatorial wedge I made out of plywood. I really like the Cube Pro, I can pick the whole rig with camera on the tripod up with one hand and walk around the yard with it.
