[iapa]

Was wondering what wis missing from he observatory.

• OTA - check
• mount - check
• guiding - check
• computers - check
• wifi hub/ap - check

then it hit me.

No bleeding walls!!!!!!

But what a view you have of the horizon without them!

Do you really let all your Apple computing stuff sit out there in the open?

Yeah, pretty good view from SW mount to E. There is a town about 4 miles off to the North, but, its not too bad.

Gear is only out for a trial run for today - weather forecast is clear all the way through to tomorrow evening.

Normally it is on a desk in the lounge with active USB cables running out to the mount(s).

I wanted to see if I can have everything outside in preparation for a holiday in three weeks on the Norther Isles.

Plan is that I would only need to run mains and ethernet outside. Shortly will just be mains, as I am going to add a power-line adapter out there so only one cable running out.

A couple of ventilated plastic boxes put the PCs in... then tidy up cabling around the mounts.

Four more fence panels? 

Thinking outside the box?

Five, six, seven or eight fence panels.

I would look at some sort of weatherproofing for all those exposed 240v plugs and sockets !!!

Even if its just upturned plastic boxes to keep the dew/moisture off.

the reel lives in a zippered lined cool bag - once everything has been plugged; didn't see much point while I was still setting up
