Observatory Weather Station
Home Observatory Weather Station
It's ok listening to weather reports to give an indication of your local weather, but a nice extra and more accurate method is to have your very own observatory weather station.
Celestron offers a great line of digital weather stations for your home observatory. All come complete with a wireless outdoor sensor that transmits data to the receiver where the information is displayed on the LCD screen.
The receiver can be placed in your observatory or other convenient location. Temperature and other information from indoors or outdoors is easily seen along with various other weather related data. Each weather station has its own unique features, but all offer state-of-the-art technology.
