Been slow but some progress has been made.
We've had some inclement weather which has been useful to iron out any leak problems, none so far but I've made seal strips for the door to prevent wind forced entry there.
I had an old kids home school desk, MDF kitset, 600 deep & 900 wide. Now pushed into the corner to handle all the PCs and power supplies etc. Ran all the wiring to the mount in a convenient groove under all the carpet so I don't trip over it at night. ST4 cabling, 12 v and 5 v plus USB connections and powered hub.
I have built one new desktop PC and got the bits for another. Both reasonably grunty for guiding and photography later on except the first one has been pressed into use as my home PC as that has gone BSOD on me. Time to replace anyway, I'll track down a Win7 super PC for inside so I can get the homebuilt special out into the shed.
I also have a low 2 drawer filing cabinet on wheels that doubles as a seat to the desk while providing some much needed storage.
I pulled the scope to bits around the mirror cage area to shift the focal point up for the camera. Looks like the mirror needs a good wash. All sorts of sticky stuff and weird markings. Just hoping none of them have corroded the mirror reflective surface, it is supposedly protected by a silicon layer. We'll find out just how good that is tonight.
I will get some pix up soon now that it is looking a bit like the business. Just need some decent weather so can get the roof open and the ladder up to look down inside.
