As Peter is a telescope builder by profession, kit comes and goes. Eventually Peter hopes to revive a 12 inch Maksutov built by himself. I am hoping to get my 6inch two mirror TCT and 8 inch Slevogt out of storage shortly, mount them on a trailer and start using them with the video cameras.
Weather is frequently wet and cloudy, usually windy but seeing can be good.
He has a passion for building bespoke telescopes BIG binoculars , Camera Obscuras and Domes. Peter and I have formed a working partnership for the majority of the images. Peter has the enjoyable task of getting up at ungodly hours, dragging the kit out and shooting the footage. Circumstances and a young family mean that my own opportunities to do the same are severely limited. My own contribution to the partnership is to slave over a hot computer trying to coaxe that detail out from wherever it is hiding and turn a potential silk purse into a sows ear.
