This is the AstropotaPOD, a SkyShed POD belonging to @Astropotamus.com that you can watch remotely to see what #Astrophotography is going on (if any). Or, you can just watch the weather and power consumption.
The renovations continue. The refractor is back in the AstropotaPOD but not hooked up to anything (just threw it in yesterday after work but before heading out for the evening). The C8 will be joining it soonish.

Renovations continue. The @skywatcherusa.bsky.social #EQ6R Pro is now mounted to the #iOptron Tri-Pier (had to get an M12x35 bolt) and power, network, and USB are all routed. Rig was moved to the NE to give a better view of the sky and 🔭 will be set up later this week! #Astrophotography #SkyShed🫛🔍🦛

The AstropotaPOD is temporarily closed for renovations. 👷🔍🦛

Update: I made a copy of the AstropotaPOD stats dashboard and hard-coded the rig ID so it's my primary nighttime rig (as opposed my secondary or my daytime rig). astropotamus.com/pod should now work for all!

The AstropotaPOD status page only shows weather now, because I have multiple rigs sending data to the data source at the same time and Grafana does not allow public access to access the selector, which means the selector has a null value. Working on fixing. astropotamus.com/pod
