Datalus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hello My real Name is Sam and i Have been in astronomy since i was in 9th grade oh so long ago say around 35 years. I currently have a LX50 8" with megellan II and a recent purchase of a Celestron CPC1100. I havent done much in the last 5 years as i open and just recently closed a business, I have been to the tex-okie star parties in 2000 2001 2002 2004 I really missed doing star gazing and well with the new purchase of the cpc1100 im hopeing Ill be able use it alot. I have been looking to build a mobile observatory for a few months now, I currently have a 18' car trailer that I may do something with, I have seen the starrshooters observatory and it looks nice, Of coarse I dont think I have that kinda of money to build with. I do like the idea of the calf nersury. I would love a real dome though but you know there not cheap! I'm looking for more ideas for mobile so if you have any good suggestion please let me know. I need a warm room( control room) a way to stabilize the scope I only have the tripod that came with the cpc. Well enough I hope to chat with you all someday and maybe meet you all! thanks Datalus Observatory or Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
