Remscope observatory.

[Peter Drew]

A short break from the relentless poor weather this year allowed our builder member Phil to finish the walls of our proposed remote telescope facility They will be rendered in due course. I've spent a couple of days digging out flat areas for the 4 pillars that will support the rails that will carry the horizontally biparting doors. The instrumentation is likely to be a 12" SCT, wide field refractor and an all sky camera. The mount, initially will be a EQ6pro. The project is intended to provide remote members with the opportunity to image from home. Don't hold your breath though as it is a fairly long term undertaking which will evolve stage by stage, updates will be forthcoming as and when appropriate.
