My observing place is in my garden with a bortle 6 - 7 sky. If you observe from the city, unfortunately you must accept restrictions, but I am planning a remote location.
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.
Currently I am using a Celestron RASA 8 and 10Micron GM1000 mount.
Since decades, the C14 is manufactured by Celestron. Meanwhile it has a very good reputation as a powerful big optical system. 14" aperture (356 mm) collect a lot of light high-resolution lucky imaging.
