Some images… • M101 Too big to image without a lot of focal reducer.
Build it and you will come… • Of all the accessories I have added to my astronomy package, none have been more useful, or been used more often than this observatory. • It takes the laborious task of dragging all the stuff out, putting all the pieces together, getting a usable alignment dialed in, and trying to not drop or lose anything in the grass into a quick and simple process of opening up the roof and waking up the mount. • Also, all my astro gear is only an arms length from the scope, and not taking up room in the corner of the living room. • When the night is over, and I am tired and ready to call it quits, the whole thing can be closed and locked up in 5 minutes.
