Your wife must love you very much if she allows you to put this thing in the garden. No matter how much technology you still acquire, you rarely find someone who shares your interests so much. Anyway have fun and enjoy your life.
I'm so happy for you Trevor!! "Black Dog Observatory" is such a fitting name! The Music was on fire btw! The guitar riffs and drum beats where amazing! Coming from one drummer to another!
Welcome to the club! We meet on thursdays. Bring craft beers. Six minimum. Also have you considered entering the Astrobackyard of the week? I think you have a chance.
Oh Rudy! You’ve been immortalized! Black Dog Observatory! Love it. Many clear skies for you, Ash and Rudy. Looking forward to more inspiring videos from your family. Best wishes. Dr B from Manitoba
Good Name Choice! Welcome to the POS family. I’ve had mine for 9 years now and it is likely the best purchase I ever made. You will quickly find you’ll want a POD Zenith Table for it. Looking forward to seeing how your observatory develops. Congrats Trevor!
Living in the city in a subdivision, I made my roll off roof observatory out of a garden shed. That dome is nice, but it’s advertising that you have an expensive telescope in there. So there is a higher chance of a break in. Mine looks like I have a lawn more in there, plus the roll off takes the whole roof out of the way instead of just part of it. I didn’t think it was going to last, but it’s been up for 18 years and still holding up well.
I love this Trevor, I'm so happy for you! It reminds me of building a fort as a kid, but for grown-ups!! Onwards and upwards my friend, wishing you all the best :)
Trevor, You are going to love it! I have had the XL4 version here in Western Washington State. Since they first came out. The ability to just walk out and be observing in minutes is amazing. And you are correct Wayne and his crew are outstanding. Eventually you are going to want to add the dome slide off table so that you can get closer to zenith. I am very excited for you and Ash. Keep up the awesome videos.
Good for you Trevor! The POD is so enjoyable to use. I've had mine for about 7 years and it's so much fun to go out and just start doing astronomy without having to set everything up. Not to mention just closing up the dome at the end of the night without having to drag everything back inside while half asleep.
Love the new observatory! Like how the dome rotates on wheels. I went to Flagstaff, AZ and the dome on the Lowell Observatory rotates on truck wheels and tires! Thanks for sharing. I like the Black Dog Observatory name. Rudy gets some credit after all of the cold nights he spent out with you checking out the skies! Thanks Ashley for being so supportive!
Haha! That's what I felt like with my observatory, driving through Chicago suburbs! Everyone was looking at me wondering what it was. Life will be so much easier now. And the hobby will make turns you never anticipated! Congrats Trevor!
Nice name for the observatory. Glad you had a clear night in it. My luck has been when I get a new astronomy related toy I get weeks of cloudy nights. I call it the curse of the new telescope.
Congratulations Trevor! It's so funny to hear your story. My first observatory happened after coming in and out of the house 150 times at all hours of the night banging around. My wife said "You need an observatory" :)
Now having seen one of these Pods in action and up close it's far better to observe in I'm sure. Not just the blocking wind, light but cold blockage has got to be substantial as well. Throw up the lid. Boom. Sweet!
Trevor's setup looks real nice. I bought a POD with three extensions in 2007. The thing I didn't like about it was that at zenith the scope is blocked. The POD folks came up with a side deck that you can slide the dome off to clear up the zenith issue but it required removing the retaining brackets from the fixed dome half to push the dome assembly onto the side deck. I got ride of my POD about five years ago. I have built a slide-off roof observatory for my scope. Trevor did a nice job on his foundation assembly. I wonder why he didn't just build a roll-off roof observatory system instead of the POD. I built my 8' x 9' stick framed observatory for about $500 in materials. That was last summer before lumber prices skyrocketed.
Hey Travor, Congratulations on finally getting your Observatory , we have a saying " Good things come to those who wait" Travor I watch you grow in this great hobby with Ashley and Rudy at your side. I'm looking forward to seeing great images coming from the " Blackdog " Osservatory 🇨🇦 God bless and clear skies 🌠
Great observatory Trevor! Congrats. Very functional with the storage pods. Ashley is the best wife ever!!! Great to have someone to share your passion.
You should have had Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" playing at the end of your video. Of course I'm a 70's chic. Anyway; that's utterly amazing Trevor. Every armature astronomer's dream is to have their very own observatory in their backyard. How cool!
Wow congrats! That is going to be so awesome for cold nights. I just bought an old church in a small town and it's my dream to put an observatory dome on it.
Awesome. I purchased an used on Kijiji for a great price and cannot wait to get mine setup in the backyard. No more hauling gear. It'll be great for the cold clear Saskatchewan nights this winter
Welcome to the home observatory club Trevor, I built a Pulsar Dome setup in the Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK last year, and it has transformed my astronomy. Similar name to mine, mine is Black Mountain Observatory. Have fun
found this vid randomly in my feed and have subbed. That's a sweet little observatory you have there. The engineering on that mount is insane - I was drooling! Oh well, time to binge on your back catalogue!
OMG, I am so jealous and not just about Ashley.... I just moved to PEI and I'm shocked at how dark the night sky is here. Love your channel and agree we need Black Dog T-shirts
Congratulations! You are going to love it! I've had a pod for 2 years and my only regret is I didn't buy one years ago! Clear skies my friend! Ed in Hyde Park NY
Thats pretty awesome and I love the name. I have wanted one of these for a long time and Wayne is a great guy to deal with, I cant wait until I have the funds ready for one, especially now I have injuries that makes setting up and taking down my astro gear so much more difficult....
Awesome Trevor!! Congrats man!! I've had my Roll off roof observatory now for 20+ years and love every night that I'm able to observe from it. A funny note, my wife calls it my dog house cause every new piece of gear I get that's where I end up. lol...
Trevor, congratulations on the observatory. Now you will be able to enjoy astronomy vs spending time setting up and tearing down every night. I built a 13' dome in 1983/4 in Upstate NY, and I have recently built an 8' dome and a 10'x12' roll off roof building in the Casper Wyoming area (about 7 miles from Casper). My skies are light polluted, but no where near as much as your location. You should visit Wyoming sometime, there are skies that are so much darker than anything east of the Mississippi. Also, humidity is very low, and altitude is above 1 mile, so transparency is really good. Nice observatory name, everyone here likes Rudy. I'm looking to use my LX850 mount solely for the ES ED152CF APO refractor that I have, and I'm looking to probably buy a Sky-Watcher EQ8-R Pro for the GSO 12" f/8 Carbon-Fiber Truss Ritchey-Chretien. I'm curious what mount you would recommend for the 12" RC, it's about 56 pounds. Louis.
Very exciting Trevor! This will simplify everything for you. There is one caveat with these polyethylene domes: They tend to accumulate a lot of heat and humidity producing conditions that favour rust and oxidation. You may find you need improved ventilation, possibly even a dehumidifier. Results vary widely however depending on the base, local microclimates, etc. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with a permanent peer and the big new mount!
Mounting on the deck will help ventilate a lot. And temps will never get high enough to hurt gear. You just open the dome 40 minutes before use to eqalize the mirror temp. ;)
Awesome Trevor! I used the SkyShed plans for my roll-off observatory. It is cool you are close enough to pick it up yourself - lucky to be in Canada. The POD is probably something I would go for in the future if I move since they are a bit easier to construct alone. Good luck with that mount, if I had that much money to spend on a mount - I would go with Software Bisque over the Astrophysics or the others. Hope get to hold onto it for a while. - Cheers
That is so cool. I never knew there were pods like that available. I'm a just a small time beginner with the night sky, but this is very good to know about living in Michigan.
Great. You need to add some paw prints to the door. Looking forward to your experience with northern observatory environmental issues and how you deal with condensation and those issues. Cheers
Love the name Trevor - I have had my pod for a couple of years now and you are going to love the time it saves setting up and tearing down and I'm looking forward to seeing the output. Strongly suggest you get a PZT though it will make the Zenith problem go away. Clear skies- Martin
CONGRATS!!!! I just finished my ROR build recently...I totally get the excitement you're feeling. It is such a game changer, you will love it!!! Just noticed the Bisque mount too. It might be a little intimidating, but you'll get the hang of it and TSX soon enough. I'd love to give you pointers, but I'm an AP guy :P Have lots of fun!!! Clear skies from Pine Creek Observatory.
Hey Trevor! "Black Dog Observatory" is a cool name man! This channel/you and your families journey just keeps steaming ahead with success after success my friend!! It's a beautiful thing to see and i look forward to continuing following you guys for many more happy years to come! Thanks! Wes, Liverpool, UK.
Too cool. So happy for you and great to see how you and this channel have grown. And there is NOTHING better than to have a real cutie to share your hobbies with.
That is a sweet setup.. that mount looks awesome.. can't wait to have something like that in my backyard.. I have a spot picked out but need to have a chat with Mr Stihl and a few trees first.
That is so cool,congratulations. Hang on to that great wife. This month I've been with my blessed wife for 46 years in our way to forever. Great name for it as well. Pets are the greatest blessings as well, just they don' stay around as long. Love them and be thankful for them.,😁👍💞👏
That is so nice. My dream since long time. I've get back to the hobby after 30 year pause, and followed your videos to put me back on track with modern astrophoto technologies. Now I start to get good results cause of your nice advices with my Star Adventurer pro 2i and stock Canon t7 kit. I've just added autoguiding this week following once again your advices. Next Step will be the Rokinon 135mm F2 and a Redcat51. Thanks for your great work.
Wait..a what now... this is gonna be epic just the idea of it is brilliant especially coming from your channel cant wait to see the beauty's coming from this.
I was never a fan of the half moon opening on these domes. But the actual body of this dome is said to be the better. So I'd go Skyshed body, and Nexdome top. Congrats man! This is my goal as well.
Nice. One day I’ll take the plunge too. My biggest concern though is that it probably is a theft-magnet. So I’d probably go for something less dome-like, but more a roll off roof shed kind. Luckily (in this case only) my garden is completely secluded from prying eyes.
Most people think that but sheds are a much bigger magnet. Thieves see a shed and think tools, golf clubs, lawnmower, ATVs, etc. They see a dome and think it's composter or propane tank. lol Plus PODs lock down great. After thousands around the world we've never heard of a POD being broken into. A couple of tries but they didn't get in. ;)
@@SkyShedPODTeam I think this will probably not apply to my country. Every house with a garden has a shed. But if there is a dome included than it is a whole different incentive. But good thing the PODs are apparently burglary-safe according to your statistics. 👍🏻
