I think I'm about done with the observatory and am almost ready to start getting serious about astrophotography. A weatherproof 240V/10A mains inlet has been fitted to the outside and weatherproof switch-able sockets to the inside. Foil bubble-wrap type insulation has been contact cemented to the inside walls and roof which should minimise heating in summer and dewing in winter (maybe with a small heaters help). Couple of small vents fitted top and bottom to the south wall for a little air flow. Also wired up all the power supplies used for various cameras and set up the main hub for easier connection. Now all I have to do is make a few looms specific to various cameras and it should be ready for summer. Now if we could invent an anti cloud device we would be laughing.
Cheers
Stephen
