Your installation - Nighttime View

Let's keep this simple. Take a picture of your setup at night showing what you see when it's dark!

Mine is here - RH96 (top), GE Orion VHF (middle), Kenwood 830 UHF (bottom).

Nice mobile glowy-shiney things... here's a desk (monitors off)

and after some Scotch... (or messing with exposure settings)... hey, it's what I see sometimes!

I love these "Night Shots!" Reminds me when i was a kid. My brother and I would sit in our bedroom at night, listening to all the police traffic and hams on the Mt. greylock repeater (which got me into ham radio myself). It was a real bonding memory.. that little scanner back light.. ah the memories.. Sorry to the OP if I totally got off topic.

b7spectra's home shack is a closely guarded secret. The most recent pictures of it were taken in 1972. Rumors abound that he has a bank of XTL 5000's but it's all "TOP SECRET". Maybe one day we'll know....

Like my good friend Metrofire31 says, it's all TOP SECRET! Metrofire31 knows there will be a sniper outside of his house if he divulges any of my secrets!

Let's keep showing off our equipment at night!

Taking decent pictures in low light with a crap camera is difficult. I tried tonight and will post some pics tomorrow. Might try retaking some too.
