Be It Ever So Humble ... Observatory reassembled

There's no place like ............

Well I finally got around to putting my observatory back together in my new location. Just a few new features like roof runner supports, shade cloth and insulated roof ( because it gets bloody hot here ) and the big one ........ DARK SKIES !
Haven't quite finished yet ... I have to seal around bottom of walls, lay carpet tiles, connect power and then ofcourse set up my computer and mount etc ready for imaging .... oh and collect a few more rocks from the paddock. I haven't gone for a permanent pier as I want to check things out before doing anything like that. I kind of like the fact that I can adjust the height of my mount according to which scope I may be using anyway and that is difficult to do with a permanently setup pier. If I decide to later it wouldn't be too hard to sort out.
It feels good to be almost back to where I was a few months ago only hopefully a little better this time.
Anyway just thought I would share the news.
