My back had just made me realise what an asset an observatory will be to have at home. I am now very limited to what I can carry or move and I am glad that I got an EQ6 for portability and my new scopes to go with it, small and easily handled.
But my beloved Meade 12" needs a home, and I have been and seen many different observatories over the net, and even Strikers here in IIS. I like Striker's concept and practicality, but I am not that handy at making things. I thought of using a garden shed with Tony's ideas for the rail tracking. I have limited space but wish to maximise the setup of the observatory asmuch as possible. Cost too is a major factor, as I don't have much to play with.
5ash recently posted details about insulation, that looked like an excellent and very practical idea to adapt into any shed. some furthere details of this and cost would be appreciated.
Members of IIS, could you send in your observatory details?
