My observatory aka Starchaser, under a bortle 2 sky. The blue is light from the wifi link to the house. Note to self, better cover that led with tape.

Really nice image - esp with the Mag clouds in view. Thanks John W.

[AdamJL]

incredible view.
How do you find the wifi range at distance? I would have thought a trenched Cat6 would be the go-to?

[TraKtorman (Peter)]

I didnt want to contemplate a trench to the observatory, Google tells me the distace is 290m. You can see the distance in this pic. For wifi, I bought some Ubiquiti antennas and set up a bridge link. Their range is in the km, so they are more than adequate. Overall the remote desctop experience is very good.

Great pic Peter and it looks like a really nice setup you've got there.

Hi Peter,

I thought I commented on this one earlier, but obviously not...

Love it - great colours, great detail in the stars, and I think the blue from the WiFi station adds a counter-point to the starlight.

Cheers,
V

You've captured the mood of the night sky there. I like it.
