Hi all. I decided to call it Nocturne Observatory!

Definition:
Nocturne
1. A painting of a night scene.
2. An instrumental composition of a pensive, dreamy mood, especially one for the piano.

I thought it a fitting name.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler: Sounds good...

Does there happen to be an alley nearby, i.e. Nocturne Alley?

Or is your observatory possibly in Harlem?
