I wanted a box to keep all my occultation video and GPS gear together and to simplify setup. The goals were...
All the necessary equipment in the box and in a stowage designed to prevent cord tangles and connected ready for use. This prevents leaving a power cable or something else at home.
A place to put the GPS when in use that will allow clear reception.
Enable the equipment to be used at a comfortable height.
Keep the equipment protected from dew.
Apart from the telescope of course, only TWO items to remember to load into the car to take occultation observing.
Not included yet but soon will be are stowage for spare batteries for the camcorder remote control and a spare DV tape.
I have not yet made up my mind to store the PC164c camera in the box or with the eyepiece and focal reducers in their box... decisions decisions... :-).
