I dismantled the mount and scopes from the old observatory today with the help of my 2 sons. Hope to have the new observatory up and running within a week.
Unfortunately I haven't heard andything on the Titan mount yet; it was supposed to turn up October last year, so will have to put up with the ever reliable Goliath mount for a bit longer.
My setup has been moved into the new observatory = 14" LX200, water cooled OTA via bilge pump that circulates ice water through 1/2" hose till the primary mirror reaches ambient temperature. This usually takes 2 hours.
FS102 Takahashi and DSLR can all easily be carried by the Goliath mount.
The observatory has been sealed from the outside elements with foam rubber.
I have both 240volt and 12 volt power within the observatory.
I am happy with the extra room after my old observatory and don't have to crawl around in places on my hands and knees any more. Also have room for a cupboard to store accessories.
Absolutely AWESOME setup Lester,,I'll bet there are a lot of very envious stargazers out there,(myself included),,,,just need a granny flat next door for all the "unexpected visitors",,,Great to see all the hard work has payed off ,,now kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labour,,,CONGRAT'S,,,,,,MAT
That look terrific Lester. The location is also pretty darn awesome. That Losmandy will look pretty good in there - if it ever turns up. Of course I have an ulterior motive for hoping that is sooner rather than later.
