You guys have got me thinking how nice it would be to have a good weatherstation, that I could have a sensor in the Observatory, & then have everything display on my computer. I would have to have wireless, though.




I have 2 wireless weather stations, Jake and Shadow, if their feet are muddy it's raining, if I can't see them it's foggy and if they refuse to go outside it's either too hot or too cold for me to want to be out there either.

I use a portable sensor, a Kestrel 4500. it's selfcontained and records. If I want to check temp and humidity I just leave it in the dome overnight.
