CJ, have you gone all iOptron and abandoned the Losmandy? Great topic and video by the way. Not sure about the "project", seems too small for an observatory, about right for a beer cooler though. Ed
Gday CJ Great to see you are well & uploading Is it a observatory of some sort Very interesting video, it’s incredible the amount of objects orbiting earth Cheers mate
We're in the 21st century, we need to learn how to LITERALLY work in space beyond working in a lab 'in space'. We need to build a HEO processing station with harvester tugs capable of retrieving the crap. Landing a space ship used to be Buck Rogers sci-fi... not so much anymore. Clear skies. Looks like insulation for a sky shed...
Nice find.The human race is doomed,Our hobby will be over unless someone can create software that can remove these star links from our images i was imaging m101 the other night with my c8 at 1280 focal length and out of 30 3min images i had 13 with satellites passing through them i stacked them all in pixinsight yes it removed them but i could still see a trace of them still in the image.They will not stop because money always talks.
I got it! It's a giant ice chest to store dry ice to cool the camera for those far-from-home, power-challenged imaging sessions!
@linuxastro YES!!! Wouldn't that be awesome!!

Yes sir! LOVE iOptron mounts. You're right...too small for observatory....
CJ, thanks for the reply. I ended up going the opposite path because of access to surplus Losmandy equipment, but they are a tinkerer's delight.
@@edwardgill1042 surplus?!?!? Did you find a magical closet??
Gday CJ

Ya got that right Ben! The amount of objects....not the observatory though. :)

I agree Tacoma! Should have had a moon base by now. If nothing else but to practice for Mars.
