Hey look! A new Dome has popped up.

Hi All

In another thread, I have detailed some of the new equipment I have purchased, and more is expected. With all this new gear I figured I needed somewhere suitable to use it.

Briefly, I settled on an Observatory at an appropriate site.

And here it is.

Back to the beginning, the Site Survey was the fun part - too many choices. I settled on a high part of a ridge line with excellent views all round. The attached shows the star trails view to the South. I should have no trouble getting a good Polar Alignment.

The electrical and data fit out will begin weekend of the 21st.

It have had a lot of enjoyment getting this far.

Darrell
