<\/a><\/p>\nOverall shot, at Camp Highroad. Mount on left obviously, imaging laptop, 85 amp-hour battery setup in foreground.<\/p>\n
Closer shot of the imaging laptop, battery with inverter atop and 3 socket cigarette lighter. White extension cord running to the truck, so I can charge my other laptop (more on that in a bit).<\/p>\n Cooler for beverages, close-up of the battery box. Had great luck with it so far, can have two laptops charging on it at once, pulling 190W and it still puts out 12.6V consistently. Takes 24hrs+ to fully recharge off a 2A charger tho, but that’s fine by me.<\/p>\n USB cable to USB hub. From here I run the USB mouse and a USB extension to the USB hub on the mount.<\/p>\n Bottom of the CGE-Pro. Despite all the horrors people seem to have had with this mount, it’s worked flawlessly since day 1. I’ve done PEC on it (I’ll have a separate post here on that when I revisit it to redo it, more accurately). I’m using the Duracell PowerPack 600 inverter\/DC battery box. One to power the mount, USB hub and imaging camera and the other for the dew heaters.<\/p>\n USB hub near the imaging laptop runs to this hub. From here, the mount connects, and the SSAG camera and the imaging camera.<\/p>\n Another shot of the mount, before the scopes are attached.<\/p>\n Orion StarShoot Pro V2 color CCD cam box, and the silver Celestron eyepiece box everyone has, I keep some assorted stuff in it.<\/p>\n Right before mounting the scopes. You can see the side-by-side Losmandy type bar from ADM here. The box on the left is the Orion 80mm ED refractor, and the one in the center is the Astro-Tech AT8RC. The one on the right is the Astro-Zap dew heater stuff. I’ve got 3 straps in there.<\/p>\n <\/a> This is the fun part. I turned on tethering on my jailbroken iPhone 3GS. Connected to it with my work laptop and ALSO with my imaging laptop. Thus, as a side effect I can UltraVNC into the imaging laptop from the work laptop. While sitting comfortably in the truck. \ud83d\ude42 So, once I’m all focused and guiding seems good, I trundle into my comfy seat and control all the action remotely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Took some quick iPhone shots of my setup this past Sunday (6\/20\/10).
