Pier looks like it goes fairly deep, should be very sturdy for any future equipment that you may end up hanging off it... with this kind of thing, making sure its future proof is the key... A few observatories I've seen were built with the original equipment in mind, and this can limit your options when expanding.

Looks like its progressing well Matty, will the walls be Al, bricks, wooden?
Thanks Alex,

I incorperated into the design quite a lot of room for upgrades most likely a larger OTA in the future. That's why I went for a solid concrete Pier.

The whole of the framing of the Obsevatory will be wooden. I'm really happy and excited with the progress we have made at the moment.
