Astro Nut

My CG5GT was getting to be a MESS with all of the cables coming and going.

I have come close to tripping and ripping some of the cables out. THAT would have been BAD VERY VERY BAD!
I have 4 cables
2 are for the cameras,
the Orion LPI and

the Meade DSI C
2 are for guiding
GPUSB guide port interface and
the Hand Controler.

So I got a couple of 4 port USB hubs
Now I have to spend some time routing all of them out of the way!

Here are some pictures of the inside
This is the South Wall

This is the West Wall

This is the East Wall

and the North Wall

One of the plus things about having the 5′ clearance for the rolloff is that I can build 5′ shelves on 3 of the wall.
I wired in 6 plugs 2 on each S,W,N walls can’t have to many plugs!
I have LOTS of work space.

I have finished my backyard observatory.
I really REALLY like it.
In the last week I have gotten 12 more hours of observing then I would have without my backyard observatory!


This is 8′x8′ slab.
A couple of the features I wanted was
4 foot base walls
and a 5 foot clearance for the roll off….
