I have done some more work since then but haven't updated my web site yet. Currently working on automating the opening/closing of the roof but finding time to work on it is not easy. Being a dad of a 2 yo and a 4 yo can keep you very, very busy
Nice simple design. I like it. Does the roof have anything to stop it blowing off in a BIG blow? Seems like it is just sitting there under it's own weight?

Is the sarking insulating? Question is should you insulate an observatory - stops it heating up during the day but retains heat at night?
