New Expedition - Observatory
After going back and forth on the idea of hosting my astronomy whole unit, myself have finally decided, for a number of reasons back in the Gibraltar, building a new observatory, in Spain. After a few attends in different sites, I decided to build it in the mountain of Istan, Southern Spain
The observatory would be an off the shelf fully automated observatory. I am not an all technical geek, but have knowledge about astrophysics and craftsmanship.
History of My Dome
I always wanted to build an observatory. In fact without believing in the project I would have never have started or finished. I decided on the Pulsar Dome given that it provided all in one solution have, previously I made a self roof-off observatory from a shed, but it would not work due amount of condensation. The rough time line of the construction of the IMT observatories are as follows:
August 2015
Start of my first permeance Pie without an observatory
October 2015
AS 1100 Goto mount (25 Kilos)
March 2018
Self made Roof-Off Observatory structure completed - New Site
Aug 2019
Takahashi 10″ fitted, First Light
May 2020
10micron 2000 Upgrade completed - third new site
June 2020
New Dome -Pulsar 2.2M
Setp 2020
New 10" telescope - Officina Stallar
February 2021
Automatization of Dome session using SGP software
June 2021
Hire a Static IP address
June 2021
Dragonfly Relay and AAG Solo Rain Sensor and Lunatico Wind meter
September 2021
Total remote Observatory
