Add your observatory to the list

Hi All,
I am looking for anyone who would like to add their home built observatory to a page I have going on DIY observatories. I will accept a commercialy built observatory if it is put together and operated by an amateur.
If you would like your observatory added, please PM me with a photograph of your observatory (you can be in the photo if you wish) and a breif description of your adventures with it. If you have a link to your own page, send that too and I will make sure it goes on the page.
Here is the page so far.
http://www.asignobservatory.com:80/O...rvatories.aspx
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Baz.

Anyone?

Surely there are some real beauties from the IIS community that deserve a mention?

Bluescope has sent me his. It's a little ripper!

C'mon folks, let's see what you got!

Any more new observatories out there? I know there are a few people building.
The page has become quite comprehensive and is growing. I'd love to add yours.

Cheers,

Baz.

Another geodesic

Hi Barry,

Here is mine, all homemade like yours.
Actually I think I remember corresponding with you years ago
when you were considering building one.
Mine is exactly the same as Joe Garlitz's.
All Foam, but not fibreglassed....concrete rendered just like Joe's.
