Todd Leen is a relative newcomer to astronomy; he started observing in spring 2001 and astrophotography about a year later. Todd visited Marieth for two nights in June 2004 to try out his 300mm f/2.8 Mamiya 645 APO on the stars. It's shown here piggybacked on his Takahashi Sky-90 all atop an AP 400 GTO. A "piggybottom" wide field 35mm camera rides on the end of the counterweight shaft.
