My Small corner of the Yard

My Small corner of the Yard
I have 4 walls one side shed(red) , one side fence(green) and two sides shade cloth 2.1m X 2.1m. This is to tackle the winds and cut the effect on the mount. computer is covered by a towel to hide the light from the screen as its seen from the road. It resides in a black plastic box that doubles as the storage box for all the gear.

Due to the extreme heat of this month I have in the day a reflective cover as a roof over the whole area so the breeze can move below to cool all the equipment.



To the South the City of Perth and a few high clouds. I have a small plastic bag on top covering all the electrical plugs from Dew. Between the Legs a cut plastic bag covering the power board and all the mains electrical, dew is a huge problem so its best to take a bit more care.



Cables split in two set one that run the mount left side, in the middle those that run the rest of the equipment also split in to two lots to balance out the top of the mount.



Camera has been manually rotated to fit the field of view. This is all made possible because of the Optolong LeNhance filter In filter draw that cut the light pollution. This is where all the photos come from. currently its taking the Horse Head nebula two panel panorama and 3 night shooting each panel.
