What does your backyard setup look like?

Here is mine (a bit of an outdated photo, but still looks pretty much the same)

The tarp is blocking a streetlight across the street.

Is that a 10inch on a Gem45?

Rig porn, I love seeing others, keep them coming.

First is Refractor setup.  This is the travel version with battery, normally in the backyard I have a small handtruck with two power supplies that I also carry the counterweights on.  Below that is the C11 on the same mount, didn't have a wider view of it, and at this point the dew strip is tucked under the dovetail.  The little three legged thing is a weather station primarily in place for a RG-11 rain sensor, so I can be awakened if it starts raining, but it also feeds wind, temps, GPS (clock sync mostly), etc. to the software running on the NUC on the mount (and into my home system).   It also sits with the Planet spikes in small holes in pavers, so I am within a couple arc minutes of aligned just by placing the tripod, very repeatable. 

Unfortunately, mine looks like the park of a city...

Seems I only have some pix while taking flats.  PC on the right is used for remote access to PC mounted to the scope and to power flats panel (tracing tablet).

Not quite current but fairly close equipment wise.  At this iteration it consists of:
Skywatcher Esprit 100 ED F5.5 w/field flattener
Moonlite Express Nightcrawler WR30 focuser/rotator
ZWO EFW 2"x5 filter wheel
ZWO ASI 2600MC-P OSC camera
Pegasus Astro UPB v 2.0
Williams Optics ZenithStar Z61 F5.9 (used as a guidescope)
ZWO ASI290MM guide camera (shown here with original WO ring, which is insufficiently rigid for guidescope mount.  The mounting ring has been replaced with an ADM Accesories Guidescope ring set on a D plate adapter - also ADM Accessories)
ADM Accessories D plates, spacers, etc.
Software Bisque MyT mount on a Software Bisque 10" pier on a 5'x5' slab (4" thick slab with 6"x2' edge footers w/ a central 2'x2'x2' concrete 'mass'.  The soil is very fine 'sugar' sand and is considered  fluid for structural support purposes.  Breadth not depth is what provides stability in this type of soil according to my daughter who is a structural engineer.

During the day it is covered with a Telegizmo 365 cover which does a very good job of protecting everything.  When we're away from home on trips/vacations, the entire mount and OTA are moved indoors and mounted on an Ioptron Tri-pier which I use for maintenance/testing before moving the assembly outside.

It is controlled by an Intel Gen 10 NUC.  It, along with the power supplies for the mount and the UPB are mounted in an NEMA 4X enclosure w/cooling fans.  The three cables that connect 'box' to the mount/rig disconnect and coil up on the mount when not in use while the 'box' goes inside my office.  While I can connect to the NUC locally, my normal access is via Remote Desktop or with RemotePC.  Upgrading/modifying my home network wifi infrastructure to provide good/stable wifi connection was a separate project.

The guide scope assembly slides off the top D plate and is replaced by an ADM Accessories D plate compatible hand grip.  This provides a safe/secure means to lift and carry the OTA assembly when it is removed from the mount.

The current configuration that I haven't yet taken pictures of has changed slightly and since making the change I've had over 30 days of either clouds and/or full moon, or both at night despite hot clear days.  The EFW and OSC have been replaced with a ZWO EFW 2"x7 filter wheel and a ZWO ASI2600MM-P.  EFW is loaded with LRGBSHO filter set.  So yes, I've gone to the darkside for monochrome imaging.  Or at least started the move in that direction.

I do have a ZWO OAG-L, but can't really see an advantage for it with my current focal length and FoV.  If I eventually go to a Stellarvue SVX 130 or 152 or even an AG Optical 12.5" CDK, then the OAG would be necessary.  At that point would definitely need an R-O-R observatory enclosure - IMO.

This is mine with a nice view to the south over my little village with bottle 4.
Someday there will be an obsy. Someday....😁
