Wheel-Dob

Here is the Wheel-Dob and the observatory.

When the neighbors lights are on I use the scope inside the observatory. If I need to see something just below the eastern wall I roll over to the western wall so I can see it etc.

And when the neighbors are all in bed and it is dark and clear I roll the scope out the door onto the grass and have a very good horizon. When I am outside and ready to observe I take the wheels off so they don't catch on the grass as I turn around.
