scope_in_suitcase

My 13.1" homebuilt dobsonian telescope disassembles to fit in a regular suitcase. The telescope is fully motorized in Alt/Azm using stepper motors driven by Onstep. The red box in the suitcase houses the electronics for reading the mirror/air temperature, driving the mirror cooling fan, and operating the wireless microfocuser (all of which is done by an Arduino UNO board).
