My setup has been moved into the new observatory = 14" LX200, water cooled OTA via bilge pump that circulates ice water through 1/2" hose till the primary mirror reaches ambient temperature. This usually takes 2 hours.
FS102 Takahashi and DSLR can all easily be carried by the Goliath mount.
The observatory has been sealed from the outside elements with foam rubber.
I have both 240volt and 12 volt power within the observatory.
I am happy with the extra room after my old observatory and don't have to crawl around in places on my hands and knees any more. Also have room for a cupboard to store accessories.
