To tell you the truth, NO. I am somewhat limited using the Dob in the dome. The walls are a bit to high to see anything low and the neighbours trees have grown quite a bit since the Observatory was errected. I am hoping some sweet talking to the wife will allow me to move the observatory into a more central area in the backyard. Something my wife doesn't really want.

The plan is to install a pier into the observatory, which will raise the scope to see lower, install an EQ6 (or similar) mount for goto's and get my rollers working properly on the dome.

Most of my observing is done looking almost directly up anyway, more or less on the celestial equator, you get a darker sky and quite a few objects throughout the year.
