What, like, you get a sandstorm and Tom Cruise chases you like a thing possessed?

Re: My personal observatory Project.
The observatory roof is still attached. I guess that's a good sign that we did something right.

Re: My personal observatory Project.
Today was first light for the rig so what better than to image our nearest star, the Sun only one month away from the Total Solar Eclipse. After I get the exterior painted I will be done with what I call phase 1. Getting the building usable. Phase 2 will be getting the interior the way I want it to be. I still haven't done anything as far as insulation goes which will need to be done in short order before it gets into the 100's around here. Phase 3 will be the automation with a gate motor and tied into a weather station.
Here's a couple photos of rig in action and parked with the roof closed.

Re: My personal observatory Project.
Mine was all pre completion extension leads and a laptop! It's such a buzz to actually use the telescope in its new home after all your hard work.

Re: My personal observatory Project.
It seems as though all it has brought so far is clouds, winds, and my work schedule has doubled.
