Having built the shed a few months ago we decided to deck the half of the backyard next to the house as we're on a big slope and the concreted area had such a ridiculous slope it was unusable. It is all nearing completion and the scope will finally have a stable, level surface to be set up on and left for nights in a row. And I have a shed (aka mission control) to retreat to. Fridge, TV and heater all installed.

I've taken a few widefields and unguided images of M7 but hope to get the full setup up and running soon.

The deck covers an area about 15m x 10m and is only slightly less visible than the great wall of China when viewed from low orbit!
