An enormous time machine cleverly disguised as a telescope. Sunglasses for scale.
I present to you, Astropotamus Rex. #Meade #LX200 14" ACF. #AstroRig coming soon for #Astrophotography. @astrocalhau.bsky.social @khagolnomy.space @eggstronomer.bsky.social @dylanodonnell.bsky.social @astronomyandbeer.bsky.social @davidbflower.bsky.social @sjbastro.bsky.social @aas.org 🌌🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🦛

Fail. The #Seestar didn't have anything connected to it (the app, an active target, etc) so it went to sleep. Never woke up. It spent the night camping under the stars.
Meanwhile, my main #AstroRig was primed and ready to go but Windows rebooted and killed NINA so no go there, either. 😡🔭🦛

I do have some SW sky, but it's 30 degrees elevation before I'm out of the treeline. My current #AstroRig is in a #SkyShedPOD (the @pod.astropotamus.com AstropotaPOD) and only gets to look North because of where it is, so I'm looking forward to the 14" being able to see South! 🌌🔭🦛

We #Astrophotography people learn to appreciate Nature for what She is - a fickle bitch with no care as to the human condition or how much we spent on our #AstroRig. 😉

Oh, I thought you mean #AstroRig cable hell. Yeah, my days working at Uni running campus networking was that. Imagine 10Base5 10Base2 and serial cables going all over hell and back in a 1 mile radius circle across a campus serving over 25,000 faculty, students, and staff. OMG I hated/loved that.

The inside of the AstropotamuPOD observatory at night from an infrared camera showing the tripod, mount, and two telescopes with camera gear on top. And a giant rat's nest mess of wires.
Like some science fiction movie rocket about to launch, my #AstroRig stands ready for first light of the season. Unfortuntaely, that's not going to be for at least another week or so, given the weather. But at least it's ready! #Astrophotography 🔭

A view of two telescopes from inside my SkyShed POD
An AI generated image using the other image as a reference. It appears to show two very large telescopes inside a huge dome.
But I crossed my own line and submitted a reference image of the inside of my #SkyShedPOD to playground.com to see what it would come up with. Both are below. I don't know what those 🔭 are that it invented, but I think I would be jazzed to own them! Would you use this #AstroRig?

The Meade 14" LX200 ACF Computerized Telescope
My #AstroRig was just enhanced a bit. I added a 14" Meade LX200 ACF to the barn today. In no rush for it to arrive, since I can't do anything with it until the end of March at the earliest, but *damn* am I excited!

Nice! Need #AstroRig pics!!! 😀
Odd thing - someone brought this post to my attention, despite me following you. I never saw this until now. Sometimes, I think Bsky has hallucinations.

Do you have some web cams that you want to ditch the cloud services for and just have them be (among other things) RTSP streams? Check out thingino.com. Works great on Wyze Cam V3 and Wuuk cameras (and a few dozen others)! I use these to monitor my #SkyShedPOD and #Astrorig! 🔭

My #AstroRig. I'm looking to upgrade to 2-ply.

homemade diffraction spike maker! when it's slipped onto the scope it's symmetrical
another side view of my diffraction spike maker
here's my #AstroRig! The tagboard tube on the front is my jerry-rigged diffraction spike maker 😂 I also upload my photos to Astrobin - I enjoy looking at my progress with imaging and processing
