  1. EdG - These look really good, should be really pleased first time out of the gate. Now you have set the bar for yourself, time to go past it. Look forward to seeing the next set.
  2. Thanks Guy`s interesting points from all concerned. I would love to get one but money is a little tight to spend thousands on one. Think the misses would bury me under it. Mike & Jeremy - Your obsy`s look great. Very impressive Lets see some others... get ideas going, budget or expensive 🐵
  3. Hi, welcome. I am very new as well. This place is great. Feel free to ask any questions. Have fun 🙂
  4. Greetings to one and all, I have been watching videos of people making home observatories. Some built professionally but a lot homemade from scrapes of wood and bits and pieces. To be truthful, they all look great. My question is :- How to the telescopes last out in the weather conditions, of freezing cold, condensation, high temps with the son. Some have computers and stuff in there to. No one ever says that they had a short circuit or any issues? Some I have seen have been direct to the garden floor or grass. I get the you can build a box with a lid but how do you keep the equipment safe and long lasting. I am sure its me missing something but I am curious as if it is a simple answer then I may construct myself. Thank you for any comments or input. Rob

  11. Thank you guys for all your information, very helpful in researching my options. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was looking originally to used my Nikon DSLR. would this be a good start or go to a scope cam?
  12. Hey Thanks for answering me. I have a lot of experience in photography and less in stars etc lol. I am in the process of doing an OU course now. So hoping that will bring my basic knowledge up to par. I guess I do or would like to have a go at astrophotography but not necessarily an all the time thing. Thanks again
