DIY observatory at Malta

Hi,
I and my girlfriend spent a week at Malta, as usual when we travel I try to find something connected to astronomy. This time I already before we go came in contact with Maurice at Malta. He is an amateur astronomer and has built his own observatory on top of his house's roof.

He invited us for a guided tour around the western coust of the Malta and a visit at his home and the observatory.

I have written down a short report of this visit, there is also a link there to Maurice own homepage.

When we left Stockholm, Sweden where I live we had minus 10 degrees Celcius daytime, down at Malta we had about plus 20 degrees Celsius, 30 degree more positive! Even at the night the tempertures didn't fall bellow +15 degrees.
