Thanks everyone for the advice. Fridges in the bush cost heaps because they need to be gas or 12 vlt no grid power,(you need to spend about $1200 to $1500 really) No grid power also makes the computer solution more difficult (although I have news today that there is a 12vlt power pack available so thats good).
I like the idea of the 9.25 inch I have been thinking about that also..the 11 inch actually
.
I think I may sell all the current gear and start fresh hang the losses in resale life is too short to compromise but if I get the 11 inch I must finish the observatory and to do that I need a Utility or a truck...mmm thats really what I need a truck cause without one (my truck was burnt out) even getting firewood is a big job, and no sand for cement work etc... in time a dome on the tray
yes I have some direction now sincerely thanks for the input it really has helped me clear my thoughts.
