About Jack

As a touring musician, Jack Fusco’s photography started as a way to document his travels throughout the United States and Europe. Since moving on from the touring life, photography became Jack’s main form of creative expression, and through his work he strives to communicate a sense of wonder and inspire adventure. More recently, Jack has focused his efforts on the landscape-astrophotography field, which takes many notes from both astronomy and traditional landscape photography and combines the two disciplines. “Being able to capture the sense of wonder and vastness that we can feel while staring out in a star-filled sky is a feeling unmatched,” says Jack, and he hopes to provide viewers of his photographs the same feeling of beauty and serenity that he finds while making them.
I’d be interested in his advice on an equatorial mount that would handle a D850 and Sigma 500mm lens (along with shorter focal lengths of course) Preferably a computerized “go-to” mount. The EQ6-R seems to tick all the boxes, and has nice quiet belt drive, but seems like overkill from a weight standpoint. Perhaps there are better alternatives? Also I am guessing someone makes Arca to telescope dovetail adapters.
