I'm now well into the swing of using it regularly for astrophotography and have already had two groups through.

1. Up on the observation deck at ASIGN Observatory II, processing the data collected through the telescope over the past few nights.

2. Downstairs, putting the finishing touches on the astrophotograph from the previous night.

Mate, when I come out of the sound-insulated building in the morning, the world is so darned loud!

Finally! Two years of building - 12 hours of rooting around with video editing programs of which I have no clue how to use - and It's done!

I give you the complete construction of ASIGN Observatory II with a spine-tingling soundtrack.

Thanks guys. It was a ton of frustration and fun all at once.

WOOT! With the sale of all the photography gear, the EQ8 has now been bought and installed! The new RC12 Carbon fibre truss telescope arrives late Jan to mid Feb.

Ric · #**275** 24-12-2013, 10:27 AM

Sound like an awesome setup.

It should be perfect in the Obs.

I think I'll be pretty happy with that for a long time Ric.

Looks the goods Baz. At least I know who to blame for the haze, clouds and poor seeing at the moment !!!!!

(though to be fair I'll accept a little of the blame this week ..... being Finnish we had our Christmas today and Santa was very good to me

)

New acquisition at the heart of ASIGN Observatory II.

Wonderful Barry. Lost for superlatives... Amazing what's possible in the right hands.

Can you believe this? I sold all my pro photography gear to buy all this, then I had to get a pro photographer in to take these photos for my website and Facebook group.... go figure...
