No pet electric blankets in Lismore.
First I will set up the little blower which I can make forward progress..maybe a Peltier device on the mount with the hot side placed somewhere on the mount, some stuff from Bunnings that takes moisture out of the air and tonight I will look at dehumidifier to see if I can run one off grid...but it is becoming clear I need a genny that kicks in when the batteries get low as well as more solar panels and batteries..this all started because I thought $8000 was ok for a 16 inch...my daughter pointed out earlier that if I get that 60 met camera that I will need to get a decent computer..what started as $8000 has already seen the scope go up near two k, the price of the roll off, an eq8, 60 met camera, lag etc etc plus I probably should invest in Pixinsite...looks like I will have to sell at least three of my paintings.
Never did I see this future when I first held a small digital camera to the ep for some Moon shots.
When you work out how many images you get each year and the capital cost I would say each I age will cost about a grand...that's not so bad.
