Looks great!

Thank you! I'm trying to repair DMX cables, and this is really helpful.

Great ! How did you get both parts of the roof to move ? According to the plans, only one half moves.

You know I have roughly the same gear you have and have just completed a cement pier install and am about to build the shed and have been struggling with size but looking at yours...that's probably exactly the size I want. Some people seem to build them so that they can live in them but really, if you have all the automation dialed-in, I would rarely need to be inside with the rig for any length of time then get my butt back into the house to remote run it. Thanks for the video and all the great tweaks.

Awesome - I have the rubbermaid shed and currently automating it with a linear actuator but my new mount is too tall so i was going to attach the original rubbermaid roof to 2x4s and rails and attach the same tooth gear motor.

Absolutely a great idea and build. Would you know the inside dimensions so I can see how my 127mm reflector would fit in there?…thanks

What you using for mids/tops?

Hi do you have ardiuno sketch to have it talk to Nina

Heat panel under laptop seems like a very neat idea ty

That was very inspiring. If my next home has any decent views of the sky I will try to do something similar.

Nice job. Looks like you thought of about everything. Small suggestion -you may want to put some wire screen around the holes you cut for the tripod legs to keep small critters out. Congratulations on a cool project.

Awesome!

Why was it necessary to slide the back half as well. Wouldn't just the first half have sufficed?

Yea , I work with one of your child hood friends ..Willie Wallace , he told me about your channel because I love astronomy too. I plan on purchasing a Nexstar 8se and was wondering which ZWO camera will give me the best images as of 2024?

Love that graph! No backlash! Good numbers too.

Very well done!!

That is awesome. Been watching different videos for ideas on one, and yours is the first I've seen that doesn't look like it breaks the bank! Glad I ran across it, and you got yourself a new subscriber ad well.

Outstanding!

Looks great! I about ready to build one meownself around my todmorden peir. I have been watching Astrobloke as wll but yours is more to what I want. Great job! czcams.com/video/GmpsjKY46Os/video.htmlsi=wHg2RTW13I-VQ9WF

Nice! Can you give me the info on your "all-sky" camera?

Came out great!!! Nice job - clear skies

4:14 is that a magnetron?

"azmeth"? azimuth

OMG that's exactly the shed I bought for my observatory and that's exactly what I want to do with it. Do you have the plans for this? I also want to move the entire roof off because the way it came out of the box only half the roof opens and it's not enough. Also, why not put the opener inside? What if it rains on it?

That's a great idea. I am in the process of planning out a pier/observatory so hunting for solutions. Being that you have a permanent structure now, why not mount a mini pc under the tripod (I 3D printed a holder that connects to the circular tray between the legs). Then use say AnyDesk to remote in to it whilst sitting on the couch. ;)

You take the award for one of the most unique observatories! Great job!

You've got it figured out! This is quite the setup

Ingenious build! Nice work! You mentioned hornets/wasps in between the walls. Have you had any issues with rodents climbing in from the tripod leg openings?

Excellent work!

Missed your video's, welcome back. Nice job! What bortle are you in?

Good job!

Quick question Dj Bust b were can I get a four conductor speaker cable line nutrix wire

DJ buster b .I really miss your video I just came across this one.

Hello B How have you been

Can u post the specs where to build

The build quality is spot on, great observatory

How much did it cost to build

I love m 8SE. I use a ZWO AIS 183 MC and get great shots of Jupiter. Because the luminance of the moons and planet is noticeably different, it is best to take images of the planet with the gain set for its luminance and another set with the gain set to optimize the moons and then just composite them in PS or LR.

thank you

Windows 9X?

thanks for sharing bro! great stuff

Very cool

WOw! This is a wonderful video. You obtained fantastic images with your set up. Thanks for posting this. I have a lot more to learn!

Astro Bro thank you for sharing …..you gave me the testicular fortitude to go ahead with this project that’s been haunting me for a year plus …. Picked up a used slide shed for 1/2 off on C List …. Was goin to put a Todd Mordian pier ( concrete blocks joined together by gorilla glue ) ASI air controlled is def the way to go. Thank u again Big Bro …Sending clear skies from Rockland NY

I'd have liked to have seen how you cut the shed up to make the slide out part but keeping it waterproof.

Are you on Facebook

Are you still online? I am building a Rubbermaid-based obsy from your videos and desperate for some info. Hope all is OK. Clear Skies & God Bless.

Matrix is best

Depends on service wether it's 110v or 220 or UK 240

Great image!! To attach this camera to the 8SE did you need some focal length adapter or it was simply attaching it to the telescope and focus was ok?
