BIRTH of the 'COSMO CABOOSE'

, , , , Opening day soon , , , , for the 'Cosmo Caboose' , , , , - Location , , , : 'Galaxy Station'

Well Folks, Lady's, Gents, and all Astro-liano's - I'd like to introduce & welcome you all to the Cosmo Caboose at The Galaxy Station

My next moves will be fitting out the new astro site with the equipment now Im happy with the protection & decor pretty much completed !

This post is a Follow Up from my previous 'Build' thread, Link below if you have not yet seen the project from the very beginning , , ,

My main goals will be to capture the upcoming Planet Oppositions, Jupiter & Saturn & will be trying to attempt some Planetary Nebs, along with some of the brighter Neb centers, eg The Eagle etc
Ultimately using the 12" Meade SCT ACF, yeah its F10 & im in moderate Light Pollution in the NthWst Burbs on the Gold Coast, but I see these PN's as quite bright subjects and vastly intriguing

This will also be a testing period for a while due to the need to Learn a few Programs to operate the mount and to hopefully fine tune the guiding (Off Axis) which appears to be quite a task at the F/Length of 3mtrs

Without further a do - here are some Current Pics of the Astro Arrangement

Kind Rgrds
