I finally got my home windows fixed yesterday.
How does it relate to astronomy?
Since I took most of my astronomical images from inside home. Solar imaging, lunar and planets and that's why the windows are so important, if I couldn't open them wide enough, I even couldn't point my telescopes to those targets.
I will hopefully resume production soon. Now given my Nexstar SE mount which can sit low in my window platform, I could even aim higher from inside window.
Solar imaging is ready with my new H-alpha filter set but then I will probably need to handle the balance issue. A motorized focuser will probably help in shifting the center of gravity back to the rear side, in addition to the ease of imaging.
I can also retire my Mark-X for indoor purpose due to its bulkiness, no more need to use that DIY dec motor.
