Hi Geoff, nice one. :thumbsup:
But Observatories are never 'complete'. There is always something else that needs to be modified\fixed\upgraded. Otherwise you'd have no excuse to be out there fiddling with things :P
If you haven't had an Ob before you will find you get at least 10 x more use out of all your gear.
Enjoy !! :D
Looks good Geoff
Looking forward to seeing the inside, I reckon you'll get lots of enjoyment from that project.
Cheers

Thanks guys. Yes, since the observatory was completed, I seem to spend more time in there than inside the house.

Is this an Explora Dome kit observatory?

What sort of mount is that? Nice scopes too. Very jealous.

Geoff. Might I ask. What length sidebyside plate is that? And what distance from middle of saddle on 12" to middle of saddle on refractor? I'm thinking the same. Cheers.
