Rocky Peak Observatory: structure designed and built for me by Brett (Bert on IIS).

3.6m x 5m on 100mm concrete slab. Welded steel with Colorbond cladding. 'Bubble foil' insulation in roof only.

Steel piers. The big one (for Mewlon 250) is isolated from slab on concrete footing approximately 0.45m diameter x 1.8m deep.

Roof halves operated by inverted garage door closers. Works perfectly!

Plenty of painting and learning still to do inside.
