[QUOTE=Startrek;1600017]Greg,
Nice job , quality construct and finish
Well done !!
Like me you’ll probably spend your nights inside the house controlling your imaging ( or remotely) to escape the cold of winter and the mozzies in summer. I was going to stick some Astro pictures around the walls of my Dome but I’m never in there.

Yes I plan on doing the same. Luckily there aren't many mossies here. My last house in Kurrajong had heaps of mossies at night as the next door neighbour had a dam near the observatory.

A side question, I’m assuming those trees lining the fairway don’t obstruct your view ?

Yes they do. I can only image from the zenith to about 25 degrees up from the southeast. But that is still a fairly wide view for most objects.

I also have a remote location dark site that has 360 degree views and also a pad and plinth for a 2nd setup and iOptron CEM70 mount. Plus very dark skies, some of the darkest anywhere. The Milky Way throbs overhead this time of year and the stars take on a fiery aspect.

Greg.
