Cost of building an observatory
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
