Notes: I have used Orion equipment since I got into this hobby in 2007. I love fast Newtonians, they really bring out the faint dust out there! I live in Southern Utah and love the dark skies down here, they really allow for some amazing astrophotography. You can see more images on my site www.rankinstudio.com
