@@LearnToStargaze In fact, i'm close to Paris in town Rosny-sous-Bois. I follow your channel since one year. There are great, you too. You're always happy. Courage for this new project. Last question: If you lived in Rouen, do you speak French?
@@geek42973 I took French classes for about 10 years in school, but I really don't have a knack for languages. I went to IFI in Rouen, which is mainly a business school, so most of the classes were in English.
I have the same dome (PD10) and love it. If you come up with a way to make the shutter operate smoothly please post it. Mine has always operated very slow and puts a ton of strain on the motor.
Just saw your news story on CBC! Very cool project. I'm an astrophotographer that just moved to HRM and it's cool to see this 👍🏻 Will your observatory location be open to people?
Eventually! Are you going to be able to capture the northern lights tonight? I’m stuck in the city tonight, but seems like some people are already getting some great photos!
I was looking at the 8” Celestron Dob star sense and I was wondering what website should I get it from? Do some ship better than others or are they kinda the same? I have a lot of light pollution near me and I want an upgrade from my Celestron Omni AZ 102.
Interesting. How about the heat in the dome, doesn’t it retain heat inside including the one emanating from the human bodies inside and create turbulences that distort the telescope image ? Will the temperature inside be identical to the one outside (I doubt it). I use my telescopes on a second floor balcony, recently I had the “great” idea to close the balcony with windows… now I can open only 2 out of 6 windows and the temperature inside is 3 degrees Celsius higher than outside resulting in a bad image quality in my telescopes at over 100x magnification. Now I guess I will have to take the windows back down, after I payed over 2000 euro to install them…
@LearnToStargaze thanks but i can't imagine the views though a c14 because i know you begin to see colours at the diameter of 12 inches from what i heard but 14 is amazing and i saw that you have a 24 inch telescope at work and how are the visual views through this kind of telescope
@@lucasmorawetz4934 I have apprehensions about the C14 as well. It's a great visual scope, but there are numerous problems with AP using a reflector, especially one with a large mirror like that. Given the effort and cost that went into this project, would think a new triplet would complement the design. Curious to see where this goes.
Watching you work and engineer is astonishing!
Thanks!
Amazing work. Love ur videos so much 👍
Thanks!
Building an observatory is a gift to everyone who uses it now and in the future. What a noble endeavour. I mean that. 👍🏻
Thanks!
John, simply amazing!!!!😮🎉
My body just hurts after watching this. 😳🤕
Thanks!
You’ve got skills! Congratulations on the progress.
Thanks!
Enjoying your videos!
Im really excited to see it fully operational!
Good stuff, thank you. 👍🏻🔭
Incredible project. go ahead. It's super. Best regards from Paris - France ;-)
I love Paris! I went to school in Rouen for a semester :-)

Wow, thanks!

Our shutter control is ricketey but it works. It’s solar powered, and controlled via Bluetooth.
Great job John! You’ve done a lot of work with moving that observatory. Well done with the concrete as well! Things are looking awesome there.
Thanks Thomas!!!
Genius, I like the dolly idea for moving the dome.
Super cool. I need to catch up on your videos. 😊
Not an easy job! Bravo! 👍
Thanks!
You know whar you are doing very nice job i saw the instagram lovely thk you for sharing

Neat.

@@LearnToStargaze no northern lights for me. We just got back from NB visiting family. I haven't tried imaging auroras, I'm 100% deep sky 🙂

I also want to do astrophotography but don’t want to spend $1000, I know the dobsonians struggle with this.
Companies like all-star telescope offer technical support, so if you have any issues, I believe you just call the store.

Will you add some sort of special telescope
See video #1

yo can you gift me a celestron astromaster 130 eq :D i cant afford it in my country
You don’t want that telescope.
@@LearnToStargaze what you mean?
@@rockstar_2417it’s not a recommended telescope. Not very fun to use. A Dobsonian would be a better choice.
@@LearnToStargaze can u gimme the unused one (cheap)
