2022 Remote Control
My 2022 aim is to decide on a new home location, not fulfilled in 2021, and adjust astrophotography around that, balancing contract work, travel to Perth Observatory for volunteering and social access to family and friends.
2021 Experimentation lead me to a direction of city living and remotely hosting my telescope. I persued greater automation and remote control that with a little more work should prove operable to get started.
Unless stated otherwise, images are from my home location in Leeming, 15 Km south of the centre of Perth, Western Australia. Leeming has SQM 19.00 Bortle 6 skies.
My favourite shots can also be found on AstroBin http://www.astrobin.com/users/scottastrophe
