Notes: The roof stops rolling at the beginning edge of the warm room.
Rick's Astronomy Journal
Several years ago I renewed my interest in astronomy by purchasing a Meade LX90 telescope. I enjoy imaging deep sky objects and maintaining an ongoing journal about them and my processing methods. I hope my enthusiam for my hobby comes through to viewers of this blogsite.

Incredible design! Did you make up these plans? Who'duh'thunk the roof could/would/should roll about! (Very impressed here, and love the orange flower accent.
Hurrah for you folks!
The sky is NOT the limit.

Hi Jen,
I wish Annie and I could take credit for building it but the observatory was actually built by an outfit called SkyShed. They prefab the building and assemble it on site. They did a wonderful job.
Hey, Rick, I came across this site and thought of you. Can you make sense of it? Is it a helpful thing?
