Joe wish I could. I live in a townhouse, two storey, tiny rear courtyard with a very happy garden I enjoy and consequently little sky view (the trees get happier each year!). I consudered sacrifycing part to an observatory but cant bring myself to do that, took me ages to get the plants to take hold and attract the birds etc.If my place was facing 90deg to the left I would have converted one of the upstairs rooms to an observatory as it has floor to ceiling glass doors, not ideal but safe and cosy . Anyway I'm only talking a distance of 10ft but in my situation it may as well be 10km crawling on broken glass with my zip open. Its a complex too so I am limited to construction possibilites, an observatory on the roof would be cool
Something using an antiairfact gun mount so i can recline in comfort and swivel in any direction to shoot the sky
plus lots of lasers. You know the usual stuff
