Hi Andrew,
Will post pics as we progress - just deciding where to put the footing,
The actual construction is quite simple - the plan view is octagonal and so is the dome. The walls will be made from weather board. The 3.6M diameter (between flats) allows 0.9M radius clear space round the pier leaving an "open space of 0.9M. One of the sides carries the door with a couple of built in desks, bookshelves and cupboard built on 3 sides. Because of the cost of the gear and looking at the huge condensation problems in these observatories I got a small split cycle air-con to control the humidity, from that place on Saints Road , (new @ $400).
Jeremy.
