I am very pleased to announce that I have obtained a sponsor for the observatory. Woodland Hills Camera and Telescope has been my preferred supplier of everything astronomy for years, and I use their equipment for every live stream and observation. From time to time, I'll mention a specific piece of gear and give you a link to the listing at WH.
For those of you interested in getting into the hobby, one piece of kit I have recommended many times is the SeeStar S50 from ZWO. This is a very reasonably priced (little more than $500), yet high quality and fully automatic telescope. Everything you need- telescope, mount, camera and even a solar filter in something you can toss in the back of the car to get you observing.
I have an excellent observatory, but I am going to get one of these this spring for remote use. Put it on the ground, power it up and link your iPad to it, it does the rest. It aligns itself, finds any available object you ask it to look at, and starts imaging in minutes. Check it out and tell them Bob sent you....
