Love the warm room - complete with complete with scandinavian babes I hope.
I'll bet you're looking forward to the arrival of the new OTA. What's the mount ??

Looks great !!
You'll be well set with that OTA and mount combination, and you'll be nice and snug in the warm room, I might do one also over the next year or so, I'd go for the concrete option, looking forward to seeing it as I pass by someday.

What's the mount ??

The mount is a Gemini G41 Observatory+. Will be winging it's way to me in about 4 weeks, all going well. Made to order by a small company in Hungary. Very good PE. Fully controllable from the PC. More info is on it here: www.astronomy.hu

Nice one Mike, can't wait to see it! That SSIA of yours is really going to pay dividends now! But its a bit early for a wedding present for Denise, isn't it?

Here's a view with the computer and chair inside:



I purchased a role of cat5 cable and now have an Ethernet cable between both my observatory PC and home PC to the router. Connection is now a lot more reliable than the wireless link I was using up to now.

Clear skies,
