Off to Coona
I packed the car this evening in preparation for the trip to Coonabarabran tomorrow.
A few months back I decided that Sydney is a lovely place to live, but a lousy site for a backyard observatory - especially one comprising a pier and a Telegizmos365 cover. After over a year umming and ahing, I bit the bullet and arranged to go remote. I will be taking my gear up to Coona for installation at the iTelescope facility at Siding Springs. I believe Fred is also now based up there so I won't be trailblazing.
Brad Moore has been excellent in smoothing the path. He is up there installing a PW CDK 0.7m monster. My humble CDK12.5 will be a doddle in comparison.
Here are a few shots of the car packed up - the CDK crate takes up most of the car - the rest of the gear is dwarfed by it.
Will let you all know how it goes
Pete
