Time-lapse of me building the Somnium observatory

I finally got around to publishing the video of me building my observatory. it was an extremely rewarding project and as you will probably see, i had ample supervision from 2 furry animals

Thanks for watching

Aidan

Great video Aidan.

Can I ask how much it cost you?

Where did you get the music from?

Overall the build probably cost around $2500, the electric gate opener for the roof was about 350 and there were other bits and pieces that cost money like the trencher, mulcher and chainsaw for removing 2 big trees .

The music was free for use through windows movie maker, I thought it fit well
