Yard/Garden shed observatoryPosted By Scott Anderson |
Ron,
I've been working on the same problem for years, priced out of a dome, movable sheds and or their roofs seem complicated, and alignment problems. I'm going with just a 8 by 8 gravel bed framed with 4*4"s and putting my 12" Lightbridge on a concrete 2" thick disk atop a 12" flue. I bought a Tele-Gizmo 365 cover for protection.
I know that it will leave it out all year and theft might be a problem but for me here where I am it shouldn't be and the whole thing will be bolted down and range around two to three hundred pounds!
I hope having it out will lead to more use.
