To be observing in minutes, is
the dream of every astronomer.
In the last few years we've added more and more technology to our backyard telescopes, turning many into powerful scientific instruments. Unfortunately we've found that with all the added technology it takes a lot more time to get set up and tear down all that equipment.
With life becoming more hectic than ever, many astronomers report doing less observing than they have in the past. All this fantastic technology and sizeable investment sits unused in the corner of a room, or buried in the garage.
What's needed is both a permanent and mobile solution to house and operate telescopic equipment at a moment's notice, whether in the backyard or in the field.
