Talking Latest pics of my observatory.

This took me a year to build. Others made the wall units and the turret, but I designed it.
My surname is Hannah, and a friend suggested I call it Hannah's Voorwerp. I emailed Hanny for permission and he was very happy to give it.


The only things to finish now are:

1. The painting of the turret exterior and a couple of little things inside.
2. The lightning rod.
3. Some more handles for the steps.
4. A couple more charts.
5. Figuring out a video and link to operate it remotely.
6. A little 'desktop' to hold the log, coffee etc.
7. Figuring out the best method for locking it down in stormy weather.
8. Doing 7.
