Ken:

Drewling...whoops...that's the keyboard! How do you power that thing!? The legs for the tripod look bigger around than my dog!

I have a question actually about the scope in the background. I have a ten inch dob that I've been wanting to store outside. Is that scope stored outside? What's the cover on it made of? Whare did you get it? Is it waterproof?

Thanks!
-Adam

That looks awsome!

Time to build an observatory Ken...
I hope you don't take it inside the house after each session? :-)
