I have been off astronomy for the last while due to atrocious weather. Has been frustrating as I have recently bought a guide scope and guide camera, but have been unable to use. Also, I have just finished building a garage and extra room onto my house, hence my scope spot is now unavailable.
I have plans to build a platform between the house and garage with a permanent pier. This way I will be able to take advantage of any gaps in the weather. This will progress as I manage to scrape extra money together.
