Hello,

I thought I'd share some pics related to the progress of the video astronomy observatory I recently built. It houses a wedge mounted Celestron NexStar 11 and a StellaCam 3 astro-video camera. For more pics and details, see my blog: thebevo dot blogspot dot com. Here, the roof has been removed, east wall lowered, scope is in stowed position.
