Hi,
After years of hauling out my equipment, I finally took the plunge, and had an observatory built. It is a 10X10 roll off roof structure. It was built by Scott Hortsman from backyardobservatories.com. It was a pleasure dealing with Scott. He and his crew came all the way to N.J. from Ohio. They spent the weekend, and everything was completed.
It is not easy to find a contracter to put up an observatory. See the photos.
The observatory will house a Tec 200mm refractor on an AP 1200. for now I have a Ceravolo 8.5" Mak-Newt on the mount.
Anyone thinking about putting up an observatory should give Scott a call. Highly reccomended.
