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!

Lots of images so if you scroll further down youll see the finished shed.
Wow what a lot of hard work you've put into it! Looks great tho, well done you - enjoy the next cloud free night ;D
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 :)
What an incredible job you have done there, Chris - I am totally bowled over! 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.
What an amazing sequence of pictures. I hope that you enjoy the new observatory. We look forward to seeing more pics
Takes your breath away, really
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.
Fascinating. You have worked so hard so it 's nice to see youu are pleased with it. Well done you and your helpers.
Well done you! Enjoy!
Thanks everyone, now I just have to wait for it to get darker at night, few more months ;)
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!
Glad you've still got a few more things to keep you occupied, Chris!
That is stunning, Chris. What a lot you manage to pack into your back garden. :)
how fantastic - well done, looking forward to seeing more pix - loved the eclipse of the moon, absolutely stunning.
