Info

Plenty of head room… • With the roof in place, I still have plenty of room for the scope to be left parked in any position. • Since this photo was taken, I have added a Orion ED80 guide/wide field scope. Even with that refractor and it’s mounting rail and rings setting on top of the C11, I still have plenty of room to spare.
Finishing touches • All the comforts of home • Carpeting • A work desk • Electricity • Task lighting • Shelf for charts etc. • My observing time has more than doubled, I can set up and be ready to go in under five minutes. And if the weather quits on me, I can shut down and lock everything up in 5 minutes.
