Hi Steve
4 foot 4 inch to be precise. Due to council bylaw I can’t exceed 3m and my back yard isn’t flat. I averaged the lay of the land out and add that into the calculation along with the dome height, roof height to come to suitable wall height. Did make an error of 90mm at the start which I quickly corrected. So cross fingers I have got the observatory height under 3m and the council will not annoy me about it.
This afternoon I did go back to the original plan by Charles Baetsen which I downloaded from the internet, his plan had wall height of 4 feet. Also check the dimensions for 2.3m Sirius Observatory, its wall height is 5 feet. So I sit between the two.
Cheers
