My observatory

Posted By Alan Otterson

Hi, Im new to the group, but have been an ameture since the late 70'S.

My first obervatory was a SEARS Mmetel roll off roof, but was destroyed in a big wind storm.

This is my new observatory that is under construction.
It will be a flip top roof.
Keep you all posted
