We're moving to our new property soon and my wife has given the go ahead for me to start building my (our?) observatory. Do it right first time she said. I've fiddled with a few designs. She said she'd like a traditional dome style roof, which I can build. I think...
Anyway, the thing is, how do you keep the place free of unwanted critters? Our obs will be located on top of a fairly high hill in the middle of a paddock.
It's probably a 10 minute walk to the house. Therefore, it will be all 12 volt with storage batteries and a solar panel on the nook roof. The small nook is for a desk. I'll also need room for a small 12V powered fridge to keep the beers cold won't I..
Here's my concept model so far. Open to ideas & suggestions.
