It's great to see the hand-on details of an observing session - even if it is just a tiny 100 inch scope.

Cool job actually. He can spend the night with this awesome telescope, and run around in his undies while working, it's a dream come true.

[PERSIAIOS]

@Nhatv6 No sir, this is not a museum. If you were to visit this place, they could not focus on what had to be done that night.

[Nhatv6]

Where is this place? Can we actually visit it?

[GreenerNautilus]

I learn so many things from your videos. Thank you for all your efforts for recording and uploading them.

[MegiddoVidoq]

[mightyboy1994]

Sorry for this noob question, but why does the observatories have to open up so slowly? Any specific reason?
