Back To The Observatory Project

(Below) 10' Home Dome Monster Crate arrives in San Antonio.  I'd be lying if I said we had an inch to spare in the borrowed trailer(11/16ths").  Anyway, we had to disassemble the crate to unload everything.  Glad I've got the 24'X30' garage to assemble the dome in.

(Below) Installed Rollers today and added nightly light-polluting neighbor image.  Drew image of roof on garage floor as template to build upon.  This works great and gives a quick perspective of what is needed in the way of framing.

 Completed dome minus wiring and still in garage.

(Below) Horizontal Heavens Heave-Ho's to completion of the observatory structure.  Many thanks to Bob Sutton, Bob Weddington, John Haring, John Paul Haring, Charles Haring, Chris Haring, Jeff Hall, and Leslie and yours truly.
