Just joined Astrobin. Looking forward to posting some images soon. i am in the process of setting up my observatory with a NexDome and Meade 14” GPS. My cameras are Mallincam video. I am retired here on the West (Wet) Coast. My observatory is currently to be located on the garage deck with views from north through SE. South is blocked to various degrees by trees, west is totally blocked by the house. The zenith is clear so imaging should be fine. Future plans are to relocate to the north end of the yard, however a lot of landscaping needs to be done before that happens. Hence installing and using NOW! I hope to be up and operating by spring and get some imaging done before the summer fires return and blanket the province in smoke. Talk soon Bob |

Still have not figured out how to upload an image. The upload page will not let me select a file to upload. At this point I have not subscribed but it says I can upload 10 pics. Just want to show the new observatory. Bob |

| I believe the easiest way is to copy them to your computer and then upload. |

Hi Bob, Welcome! I've built, and am running an observatory as part of a high school program near by in Shawnigan Lake. It would be great to connect some time. Nigel |

I go to Upload File and click Choose File and Nothing! Not sure where to go from here? Insert image asks for a URL! I see others doing this so it must be possible. Shawnigan Lake? That is on the Island I believe? But yes we should connect sometime soon, Bob |

Yes I know about the FVAS, I am a past president of the Vancouver RASC. I has contact during the early days of the FVAS with Paul, but in recent years building a house in Chilliwack has taken priority. Look forward to using my observatory. Talk more later. Bob |

I have not been able to figure out how to post an image to this forum but I have gotten it to my Staging Area. Here is a link to the image for those that want to see the dome. The trees behind are almost due south so my observing wil be from north through SE with the zenith and down to the west, Good enough for now. Here is the link I hope it works: https://www.astrobin.com/406475/?nc=user Bob |

Nice bob i never got to involved with with the RASC to far of a drive from my house but i know a few of the members from Merritt though. The observatory looks good so lets hope you get some clear sky's before the summer limits our observing time. How much room is inside how would it be for a 6 foot man trying to move around with a scope inside? i have been thinking of an observatory project for next summer and i am rather clumsy and that looks fairly tight for space. There is two areas for uploading images one is when you upload a picture as a work in progress, this uploads images to your staging area, to get the picture public you need to upload it using the other link to the right. it sais "upload as a finished image" then it post the image on the wall. for everyone to see. hope this helps. and hope to see you out there observing one day. take care DarkSky |

Here is the link I hope it works: https://www.astrobin.com/406475/?nc=user Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a lot of fun with that dome - no need to rebuild the entire equipment every evening sounds like a good idea to me :-) |
