Shadow and I often go to remote, high elevation areas to do astrophotography. We often have to deal with wind that can interfere with an otherwise great night of photographing the stars. In this video, we test out a portable observatory tent that I hope will help us deal with windy conditions. This portable observatory tent is called the Go Observatory and is sold by Explore Scientific. We test it in our backyard by putting it up, setting up the telescope rig, and doing some actual astrophotography. We learned how best to orient the tent, put it up, take it down, and basically how to use it. Hopefully, this product will help when we are out photographing nebula, galaxies, star clusters, and exploring the wonders of our universe. We hope this review might be helpful for you as well.
In addition, we share another little tip in helping with astrophotography. Often, tripod legs will sink into the soft dirt with all the weight of the telescope and mount, etc. We share a little trick that prevents that and allows the mount and scope to stay level and aligned throughout the night. Astrophotography and astronomy are passions we love to share.
