Hey, I’ve been mapping supernovae and thought about building a lightweight, solar‑powered telescope for the road. Think we could turn your camper into a portable observatory and catch some bright new stars together?
Hey, that sounds wild‑cool. I can totally see a solar‑powered telescope perched on the roof, but we’ll need a solid mount, a lightweight tripod that won’t wobble in wind, and a solar panel that can keep the battery humming while we’re out on the highway. I’ll sketch out a quick design first, then test a prototype with a spare scope—just to make sure the vibrations don’t turn the eyepiece into a slippy carousel. If we get the weight right and keep the gear modular, we’ll have a mobile observatory that’s as dependable as a trusty compass. Let’s pull out the plans and make sure we have a backup for any sudden storm or road quake. Ready to start the design sprint?
