Dunny-doo observatory
Finally getting close to completion of my tiny roll-off observatory to shelter the second pier and mount located on an unused slab at the rear of my main obs.
I'm cheap, old and lazy, and it shows in the construction standard.....but it will keep the equipment protected and it's all wi-fi'd to my house. I just finished today doing the lower sill surgery so it can roll back past the pier. Total cost was an Ebay tool shed $190, everything else is cast offs from around the house. Origin of name should be obvious.
Still lots of tidying up to do and some photos after I mount the scopes. Plan is a cf RC8 and a Sharpstar cf 150 2.8 HNT plus 5kg CW. Together with the GSO 250mm Newt in the main obs, I'm hoping this should cover most of my astro needs without forever swapping scopes around.
Some before and after pics included.
