Recieved my DSI monochrome (the first model) today along with totally overcast skies. I decided to set up my finder scope with the DSI inside my garage and try a shot thru the open window!
Here are the results

That looks like a very dry, comfortable, well equipt observatory. Does the window rotate to follow the sun?

Please post picture or plans when you can. I am thinking of building a gable that can view the ecliptic. I can't put a dome on my roof because of the neighbors. I would like to have a good view of the ecliptic above the trees however.
