Observatory Build

Well I needed some inspiration to proceed down this path, now that I am retired with time to do these things, inspiring projects by other member here made be see the light, excuse the pun. Seriously the only way for me to pursue astro photography productively and efficiently is with a permanent set up. I received 2 quotes one for a custom made shed (both excluding roll off roof) the other for a cool room type enclosure ridiculous prices around $4000 for a 2x2x1.6m structure, buyer beware in a demand market, so they are both off the cards, now I will be looking to do my own build for less than half that, maybe, hopefully. I will keep you posted of my progress. So far today has been, run trench for electrical, install under ground conduit and run the cable, material cost to date $60 (including a trench shovel) -
