Astrophotography tent - new shelter

Description

This is my new tent. It's on my terrace and it covers 2 telescopes. It's a commercial product, used to cover big motorcycles. In this way I can keep 2 telescopes on the terrace, almost ready for imaging. The pictures shows the tent closed and the tent open. You can see 2 telescopes:

1 - Orion 250 F 3.9 on top on a Ioptron CEM60 EC and a TS65 Flat on top of the Orion.

2 - Vixen ED114 on top of my venerable, almost 20 years old, Vixen GPDX.

All the above will be used for unguided imaging.

Thanks for looking!

Title: 31-03-22 - setup updated

Description: In these days I have updated my setup adding a C5 + Nikon 5300 unmodded to collect color images. A few words about this tent. It's more than 2 years that I am using it. It has survived (and all the equipments inside it) to heavy wind, heavy rain, some snow (not much) and very hot temperature. No issues. When I want to image, just open it, connect pc and turn everything on and all system is ready to work. I think this should be considered one of the cheapest observatory in the world.
