Yay, finally got my mini-obs, AKA the GOAT, operating fairly well and it is very well insulated and protected by a heavy cooler room insulating wall component for a roof. A well built small pier, above a good slab of concrete, with 3 old star pickets rammed into the earth for good measure, before the pour. Used an old IBC tank with wool insulation and recycled steel cladding.
Damn its so much easier to image without setting up every night! I got excellent polar alignment with the tiny SW Star Adventurer GTi, and havent realigned for days. I need to have it easy to start, as I'm often tired from the other day's activities and can't be stuffed lugging equipment out. So this is a perfect solution.
So this is my first test, fun image from the obs, using the Rokinon 135mm lens and tiny QHY715C planetary cam with 1.4micron pixels. NGC2070, Tarantula region of the LMC, from Northern Victoria, Australia.
5 hrs of subs in total, all 60 seconds, at gain 10, unguided. Darks used but no bias. Processed in PI and Lightroom
Forgot to switch my shoot without a lens feature over to 12mm. This was actually taken at f8 with a 12mm lens.

It was my niece's wedding last Saturday. They had it at an old theater that someone has recently started to restore.
I messed up... l switched my camera to continuous mode accidentally and had a bunch of out of focus shots from focusing and recomposing. Worse was all the under-exposed images. I really wanted to get some of the ambient light in, but it was frickin' dark! Then I only got two shots of the bride walking down the aisle...
I don't think I'm cut out for weddings, lol.
