Dome Observatory Bay Orientation?
Hey folks, so I've finally decided to replace my rickety DIY ROR Observatory with a Nexdome. I have room in my spot for a single bay---but I'm not entirely sure how to orient it to maximize its usefulness. Available spots are SW, NW, and N "corners". When using my ROR I just sit under my s...

Re: Help me decide on solar setup
Ok, I think I have pieced together a plan. For a CaK/WL refractor I’m looking at either a Celestron Omni XLT 102mm (f/10) or a Lunt Engineering ED 80mm (f/7).
