Are there any ROR obs in Newcastle?

I'm planning a backyard build. Does anyone in the Newy region have a ROR observatory I could have a look at to get some ideas?

Thanks, Kev

Hi Kevin,
Not sure what you mean by a ROR observatory , I have an HR observatory near you.

Thanks, did realise shortly after.

PS Kevin I do know of one in Kurri . Also have you considered an observatory that rotates on wheels at its base , I've seen that work on an observatory that was more than 3 metres in diameter, definitely keeps you out of the wind!
