Building My Roll-Off Roof Observatory

Hi,

I have made a web page to follow the construction of my observatory, which is still underr construction.

Please follow the link on Variable Star Nights to 'Building a Back Yard Observatory'.

I hope this may give a few ideas to others. Also suggestions welcome.

John

Thanks for the link John.

I plan on doing something similar in the summer- fingers crossed! So I'll read your post with interest. It looks like you done a great job on it. Well done.

All the best,

Brendan

Brendan,

Glad you liked it. I have just updated my website ( Variable Star Nights ) with some more photos, that bring
the construction up to date to early January 2012.

Good progress is being made while the snow keeps off!

Nice one John, it’s going to be a fine observatory indeed. Many thanks for sharing your pics and info on the observatory build; it sure helps other amateur astronomers here who aspire to having a permanent observing set-up of their own someday. Looking forward to the unfolding story, do keep us updated and the best of luck with the build.

Best wishes and clear skies
Mike

Thanks for posting Juohn, I too would love to have a set up like this one day, I find that not having one is rerally holding me back, ah some day.......

Keith.

Mike & Keith,

Good they inspire you.

Now doing the roof. I am updated the pictures. See: Variable Star Nights
