That is so cool. We have a few members who have their own observatories
It has always been my dream to have my own , but, for now anyway, I will be happy if I can get a clean bill of health and get my strength back so I can get under the stars again.

I understand. It about killed me digging the footing for the pier, after moving the entire observatory about 300 miles to my new location. Btw, hope you get your heath/strength back.

Oh, and all my stuff is pretty dated, much of it bought used, and even the half inch mounting plates for the scope mount were from junk yard steel scrap and the observatory computer which controls the scope movements I found cheap at a Goodwill store. I look at it as a challenge to see what kind of images I can produce while working with what I have.

But if I ever win the lotto, I'll get a PlaneWave CDK 24 scope and have someone else install/set it up.☺
