After a very busy long weekend I have managed to get my observatory finished.

The roof rolls off onto stilts.

I'm well chuffed been wanting this for 4 years!

Hey that's really good !
Was really into anything to do with space when I was a kid, and what you've built looks like a dream come true, really hope you enjoy it :)

Bet your neighbours have been pondering and scratching their heads as to just what the heck you were up too :D

Looks like an amazing piece of equipment you have there Chris!
I would be interested to see some shots once you get your computer up and running.

Fantastic ChrisG,you've done a grand job ;D enjoy your clear evening sky.

Sorry to change the subject Chris,but thought the article in the June issue of 'Focus' magazine was very interesting about Global warming with Mars,Jubiter and Pluto heating up,too.

Absolutely amazing! I am so impressed, really, I am! You, (and yours) have worked really hard and it really shows. You have evenings of sitting start spotting ahead of you and you can do it in complete luxury! Brilliant!
