I just had a reporter and photographer from the Canberra Times come and do an interview with me on the new observatory. The story and photos will run in this coming Monday's paper.
Barry, like many DIY obs, yours is an inspiration to many including myself and I will unashamedly say that I look at every possible DIY obs (roll off and dome) and try to use ideas and features in my future build.

Keep the pictures coming.

Bless ya mate!
Like you, I took inspiration from many other observatories, both this time and the last time around. That's what it's all about mate, sharing your ideas and methods with everyone so they can mix and match to come up with their own too!
BTW......,on that first pic ......I like how your tripod casts a shadow on the rock at the bottom ( slightly to the left of center).
ASIGN of things to come??????
Or divine intervention?
Peace out

LIL Bart! There's certainly been a lot of that on this journey mate!
The use of curved track and stud makes it easier to skin the outside. I use this all the time for work and whilst expensive it does perform really well. To help with stability screw fix it both sides top and bottom. Then fix sheets at 400 centers both internally and externally. This will help to support the main structure. Looking forward to more updates.
