Dismantling TAO (Tigra Automatic Observatory) ready for relocation to its new site. On this trip we finally release the reluctant wall panels and stack everything up ready for collection.

Dismantling TAO (Tigra Automatic Observatory) ready for transportation to its new site. On this trip we dismantled the dome and skirt and the back wall.
