Hi All

I thought I would provide a bit of a final update on the Observatory. I am happy to say that I think it is now “operationally ready”. The final piece of construction was the installation of some LED lighting. Three strips of red and one white for inside and one red for outside.

I think it is a bit of overkill. I am surprised at how the light seems to bounce around inside the dome. Just having one turned on provides more than enough light. Some pics attached. The bright red strip of grass being lit up is caused by the outside "porch" light being turned on. Way too bright I think.

I say operationally ready because I am still waiting on my new mount to arrive. So far, I have only used my GoPro.

Thanks
Darrell
