My main scope is a Meade 6600 on the old GEM mount and tripod. I have a Jim's Mobile drive for piggy back photography (Canon C-60 SLR) and will try prime focus photography one day (hard to do on the Newtonian).

I have a cobbled up short focus refractor (3"). TERRIBLE chromatic aberration, but quick and easy to use for the kids.
