Design Phase;

First of all, to anybody that builds an observatory it is a compromise. Mine is more compromised than most. I have a large tree that blocks my new western view.

That said I am more than willing to live with it just to have the convienence of a roof that I have but to push a button to open and close the roof and sleep/wake up the mount. I want a warm room and a 'scope' room.

I live in a battleaxe block near the centre of Bathurst. I did not have the room to build a stand alone observatory. What I had availiable was a 2 metre alley between 2 sheds. This is my canvas.

Pics of the alley.
