Observatory progress

I finished my observatory today. It now has a long desk/table and electricity with several double power points in different locations and a light.

Next step is to setup my NJP mount and refractor and polar align it.
I want to take some images with the TEC180 at F5.25 with a new reducer setup.

Then I transfer the alignment to the concrete pier and bolt down the steel pier. Then install the Paramount onto that and get it setup.
Then I install the CDK17 and set it up to image and test run it.

Should be soon now. All in time for the new moon coming up. Now the rain needs to clear away.

Greg.
