SHR (OP) Forum Administrator 09/21/2011 02:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks man!...I've spent more time on the last rung of 8ft step ladders installing things in the last 6 months than I have in 6 years!...lol...Trinity has too...he's gotten "in there" working on just about everything with all of us. Setting 30lb counterweights to balance the "little" scopes perched up inside a 14ft ceiling dome has been a bit harrowing at times...! ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

SHR (OP) Forum Administrator 09/21/2011 02:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whoa!!! Thx for the thorough update , SHR! I can't even imagine the frustration ya'll have been and are going through... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 455519 and of encouragement... I have confidence the end product will exceed all our expectations... well, we can hope! :) There's always going to be things that must get worked out in a project of this size and complexity, that is to be expected, but we definitely have come up against a lot of things we never could have expected or even should have had to deal with, but we have dealt with them. This whole project is incredible. ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

You are very welcome bro and THANK YOU for having me with you on this and for being the force behind it!...without you the observatory never would have even been started much less anywhere near done!. I for one was very enthusiastic about the project and wondered what happened with it. Would be awesome to be able to see what the fuck were talking about with all of these space doom phenomenon like solar flares, CME's , supernovas and rogue planets. Sounds like yall put together a pretty damned good setup to me, now you need to get the most out of it by hiring someone who has experience with all of the equipment. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1498581 United States 09/21/2011 02:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why no pics? I don't mean to be an ass, but with anyone else we'd say 'Pics or it never happened'. Moreover, I just wanna see the progress. I was hoping to see the whole project over a time lapse or something. I am damn excited to see it up&running. Is there a way to donate without buying a subscription? I wanted to donate to GLP anyway, but I don't really care for a subscription. |

Well this has been a general theme since the beginning really..whenever we called one of the suppliers about anything we always seemed to get something like, "Well just cut that down some, or shim this up some" "Ok so yeah, just take a piece of aluminum and cut a shape like that and then install it there."...uh yeah I just happen be a machinist and have a machine shop, but what would happen if we didn't?...shrugs.... Even one the dehumidifiers had a bad humidistat in it...brand new out of the box. Trin took the unit apart, jumped the humidistat and it started to run...so we call the manufacturer and they seemed completely unfazed that we disassembled their machine, traced down a bad integral electronic component and needed another one to istall....many times we looked at each other after doing whatever we had to do and said, "What kind of Joe regular guy can DO ALL THIS SHIT?"...I have an entire machine shop to use and 30+ years experience!...lol...we both can handle a meter and a ton of the "bugs" we found would have most amateur types dead in the water for a month each. It hardly phases us anymore!...lol... ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.
