Observatory Rebuild

Recently I undertook a rebuild of my observatory with eventual probability of remoting it, I say "eventual" because technology is changing now at such a pace that I should be able to reach my target within the next few years. The site has no mains electricity, or internet access.

The obervatory is exposed (very) - winds exceeding 120kph are common and it has been built to withstand these conditions. The primary power source has been moved to Solar Energy from a 6.5 kva petrol generator, for no other reason than it will allow me to experiment with unattended operation.

Comments and Questions welcomed

Cheers
