It wasn't until moving to Sharpsburg, GA almost 60 years later from my first telescope days; while looking long and hard at the North Star and sky overhead; that I began to realize my dream of astrophotography was finally within my grasp.  I had used cameras and computers in my professional career; so I started looking around at the technology that had transformed the amateur astronomy world - goto mounts, lots of telescope options, specialized filters, software and the internet.  So I jumped in with both feet and setup telescopes on DIY dolleys.  I soon got tired of rolling out from the garage and spending an hour setting up and then rolling back in the wee hours of the morning.   Thanks to the internet, I could see all the ingenious permanent telescope installations that people had built; and thus became the birth of  my "Horse Lot Branch Observatory" (Named for the creek bordering our property).  Now it is easy to roll open the shed and when finished, roll close the shed.  So, as the old saying goes; "Bob's your uncle."
