Obs build 5 yrs on now

[Marke]

Its been 5 years since my obs build and I am happy to report that everything has worked perfectly even the pc . No rain leaks very little dust and only the odd spider :P roof still rolls smoothly .Cant think of anything I would have done differently. Just added USB3 hub to pier to accommodate new camera but everything else works fine on it as well . Hopefully it will give a few others some ideas.

Great looking observatory Mark, I like the round the corner control room. The only thing it looks like it needs...is a good mow!! :lol:

:thumbsup: That's a great looking obs { and guard dog } congrats Mark. I like the control room annex with the roof covering it, was looking at doing something similar .

[Marke]

Thanks the roof will go all the off but not really necessary and it does make a nice little shelter .
I highly recommend building one of some sort it is really worth the effort and makes things so much easier.
