Hi group I am new here and honestly I do not even own a telescope.

A few years ago I visited the observatory in Gilgandra in NSW sadly I think it may be closed now? Anyway whilst there an idea began to form in my mind.

Wouldn't it be great to build a fully self contained observatory where Astronomers could stay for a holiday.

This was a pipe dream because I was living in the city at the time and didn't have the land. But now I do in a remote spot and a spare paddock to build one.

So wondering about the cost and what size telescope would be required.

Tell me if I am dreaming but do you think there would be much call for a self contained observatory complete with bedroom bathroom and kitchen for astronomers that would rent it out for a holiday?

Maybe even use it myself or allow others to remotely control the telescope too?

Anyway thanks for your input good or bad

Cheers
