It certainly isn't a dancehall! But there is plenty of room for one or two and a scope, had the in-laws in there with us for an impromptu first light Sat night - not made for four!

Looks brilliant Lee. Love the blue colour on the inside too - still very dark and a nice touch rather than boring black!

I've got my current big expense (the bino project) and then after that i'll be doing as you have - including the G11.

Cheers - and thanks for sharing

Chris

You should be very proud of your efforts Lee.

The observatory looks absolutely great, also like the layout and colour scheme.

Well done.

Thanks a lot everyone.....

I'm reminded exactly why I built it right now - sitting in it drift aligning the G-11..... Hopefully the last time for a little while..... never the biggest fan of the set-up (in fact I loathed it!) - the best part is when I've done, I close the roof and will be in bed in 5 minutes! noice!
