Wallaroo Observatory starts - thank god

Well it took me long enough and way too much complaining ...but I've turned the soil....all dug by hand

Should have the footing and slab done in the next week or two, then up with the walls and dome and then...well we will see

Wallaroo Observatory

Will be a Sirius 2.3m Observatory on a 2.5m diameter circular slab, 600X600X600 pier footing, metal pier on top

Yes that's the AG12 on the NJP mount under the black bag.....needs a better home huh?
