Pixlimit backyard observatory Celestron C11 Edge HD Celestron RASA C8 Skywatcher EQ6-R

observation place

My observing place is in my garden with a bortle 6 - 7 sky. If you observe from the city, unfortunately you must accept restrictions. I have downsized my equipment, I sold my good old Celestron C14 and the ASI294MC, and now I am using a Celestron C11 Edge HD and Celestron RASA C8 for widefield imaging.

In the meantime, I have designed a small sliding roof construction in which not only the roof but the entire construction can be moved. There is no better way to provide ventilation while at the same time protecting against rain and wind.
