Mini Observatory Project based on SeeStar S30

A small garden storage box will be used with the following dimension:

56cm * 41cm base and it is 50cm tall.

A rigid solar panel will be placed on top of it, with the following dimension:

101cm * 46cm.

It will be used to charge an old car battery.  

The battery will make the whole thing more stable, and will not be blown away easily by wind.  The SeeStar S30 will be placed on top of the battery, making it close to the cover for unblocked view.

The battery will be providing power to the SeeStar S30, as well as some minimum lighting and maybe a small ventilation fan to keep moisture out.

Will try to add mechanism to close automatically when rain is detected.  

Automatic openning is optional.
