My 'Backyard Observatory' with Meade 127mm Apo-refractor set on its NEQ6 Pro mount and ready to go.
Having had a number of recent problems with the battery you can see located beneath the telescope tripod, I await the arrival of a mains transformer-12volt power supply from 'Modern Astronomy'.
A mains power supply is a third of the price of a new battery and generally more reliable, particularly in very cold weather. As I'm getting too feeble to take the Meade Apo 'walk-about' and away from a mains socket, a new power supply rather than a new battery was a no brainer.
Not much chance of any 'photon collecting' tonight as the weather in Lowestoft has turned both cloudy and wet.
