  1. For the past 6 weeks or so, I've been trying to reach many of these Wooden Observatory suppliers/builder, but to no avail. Some reverted politely saying they have a 3-6 month backlog, and some did not even bother to return calls, whatsapp messages, emails. So I bit the bullet and decided to build one. Intend to house 2 x EQ6. Slightly largish build 4.5m x 2.5 m (15 x 8 feet). 7x3" treated timber for the structure, Oriented Strand Boards for walls and roof, castor wheels, and aluminium railing. Here's my plan and elevation. Will post photos as the build progresses.
  2. I've been trying to contact Home Observatory UK for the past 3 weeks. They don't answer their land line listed on the website or the mobile phone in one of the posts above? Wonder if they've folded, or just too busy to take orders?
  3. My Lunt LS50 is still under warranty. As views were not clear, I sent it back to the US. After inspection, Lunt said that the etalon is decontacted and I'll have to pay for repair. The reason they provided was that an etalon can be decontacted only if the scope suffered from a heavy knock, which wont be covered under warranty. I assured them that no such thing has happened to the scope, but to no avail. Can they really skimp on the warranty like this? What recourse do I have ? Thanks, Vincent.
  4. Here's a picture of the mod. They've brought the sensor foward, inserted a cold tongue behind it, connected to a peltier.
  5. Is there anyone in the UK who can repair thsi for me? My well used Canon 6D CentralDS Cooled DSLR suddenly stopped cooling, although the fans still run. Maybe the peltier's damaged. Cant afford to send it all the way back to Korea? Thanks, Vincent.
