Progress !!

Had a 'home' day today, head cold etc so having got SKII setup for the DSLR the other night thought what the keck, just go for it.

So SKII is now mounted on the mount on the pier in the Ob. Tidied up the red lighting setup, still need a small white light for tidy up at evening end. Powered up the mount and checked clearance to walls etc. So I can now show a few pics of the nearly completed setup.

First is SKII loaded up in 'parked' position, roof closed.
Second is Astrodesk with computer, laptop, power supply and all the connections etc on the side. Notice the red rope light under the upper shelf of the desk for keyboard and note pad lighting.
Last is roof open looking down into the Ob. Far left corner is my low rolling filing cabinet which doubles as a desk seat.

And tested my Solar filter for Wednesday, now I can see sunspots !! Real Cool !!
