DIY Mini Observatory

Hi,
I live in the northern Europe and the last year I have working on my observatory project. I try to build a small observatory to my 5" APO refractor, but still in future be able to hold a 10" Newton. Normally I'm will not be inside the observatory, it's partly remote controlled.

In Sweden were I live we could have cold winters and lot of snow, it make it more complicated.

I'm not finished with the observatory yet, and maybe never will be. But last week I could take my first photo from the observatory. Now are just a lot of small problem to solve and implement.

If you find it interesting to follow my obervatory project I have done a project page about it:

I hope you find something interesting!

Chears!
Lars
