Halfmoon Steam Observatory

Pictures of the Inside, these pictures are older soon to be replaced

when I get a new camera.

     

       Insulated Box for the computer          Insulated Box for the LCD monitor

I have since replaced the keyboard and mouse with cordless versions but I have to use lithium batteries when the

temps drop below 10 degrees F. The monitor has a clear fixed piece of plexiglass in front with 1/4" air space, then there is

a 1/4 inch piece of red and 2 - 1/8 inch pieces of gray to change when i want it darker or lighter. I have seen my LCD monitor

get hard to read when it was 15 degrees don't you know it I had changed the power supply and forgot to hook up the heater!
