Technical Innovations Robodome Robotic Observatory TTRD1M Here are the top 4 best home observatories that offer unmatched protection for you and your telescope while observing and imaging. It’s a permanent and mobile solution to house and operate your telescopic equipment whenever you want. What’s required is a home observatory ( place or space or cottage) designed to let you view the sky in the backyard, field, or even at the rooftop of your garage. Fortunately, there is a perfect solution to this problem. Having all this fantastic technology and a lot of investments in the telescopic equipment sit unutilized can be very unpleasing. Most astronomic equipment sits unused in the garage or a corner of a room. Moreover, life has become more hectic, and most people in the astronomical community seem to observe less than they did in the past. This is because it takes a lot of time to assemble and tear down all the equipment after use. However, even with all the extra innovative technology, only a few people use these instruments. With additional technology, telescopes have now become powerful scientific instruments. Over the past few years, most astronomers have added more and more technology to their backyard telescopes.
#Backyard observatory update#
I'll update further when I get this done.Facebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Tumblr Reddit To correct this, I think the frame needs to be scuffed with sandpaper and painted matte black. As cars passed, the headlights would reflect off the shiny white top crossbar. UPDATE 8/12/16 - Everything worked perfectly.with one exception. I will not be bored.I've got my red light, star map, binoculars and mosquito repellent.time to observe the stars! But, I uploaded the video, so I'll post it.prepare to be bored. What you are not seeing are the 6 streetlights, 9 security/porch lights, 5 illuminated windows and numerous vehicle headlights.just darkness and the moon. I uploaded some video, unfortunately for all of you, it is so dark that you cannot see the outline of the observatory frame (it is roughly an inch below the moon and parallel to the bottom of the video).but for me, that is the whole point. Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, after moonset I'll get some great stargazing time 20 feet from my door instead of 10 miles. Shot some video with my cell.uploading it now, so you can get an idea of the field of view.
#Backyard observatory full#
The sun is down but the moon is still up, so I haven't gotten the full effect yet, but all the street lights are blocked out, and I can hear cars going by within 100 feet.but their headlights are completely blocked. Took a little more than 10 minutes to complete the set up.
I set it up today for the first time since it was built, as has a pretty good chart for tonight.
