a really small observatory?
After dismantling my old observatory and selling everything off, I missed astro so much I'm starting again, but not with premium gear like I once had. I've bough a CPC925 and a wedge. Works beautifully for my needs/wants, but would now like to build a really small obs to put it in. The old obs position is currently being built over with a deck and pergola, so the new position has very limited space. I can build something a maximum of 1.5m wide externally, and perhaps 1.5-2.5m long.
I have on old pool pump shed that is 1.5 x 1.5m square, but the low side of it is only 1.2m high. I would have to raise it at least 500mm to make it useful, not sure if this is feasible. The scope needs to be at least 1.7m high to view over nearby restrictions.
Any suggestions to fit these limitations? Previous small builds?
TIA
Gary
