| Our original Observatory |
|---|
This is our first Observatory. Pictured on display at Fieldview. |
| Dalby Forest Starfest |
|---|
We took our Observatory up to the August 2004 Starfest in Dalby Forest.
|
| Kelling 10th equinox skycamp sept. 2004 |
|---|
We also took our observatory to Kelling, Norfolk for the Skycamp, where we hope to return for future events.
|
| The Rolling side panel. |
|---|
We have been able to incorporate a "roll-off side panel", which is attached to the roof and gives you access to the horizon on either side of the observatory as well as to the south.
|
| Off the side. |
|---|
Here we have an Observatory designed to Roll-off to the side, using the space available to its best configuration. We can have the Roof set to Roll-off in any direction necessary to suit your location. |
| Side Roll-off with a Lightweight Roofing. |
|---|
This is one of our 8' x 9' Side Roll-off Observatories, with one of the Lightweight Roofing options that are available.
|
| Shockproof Easy - Level Telescope Pedestal |
|---|
Our Pedestals are the perfect mount for Meade Telescopes. From 8" - 14" Meade scopes, we can provide excellent Stability to enhance all those Astrophoto's you wanted to capture. |
| Come inside and have a look |
|---|
This picture basically shows the effect that the Folding Flap has on your viewing area. Once the Telescope has been fitted to the Pedestal, viewing is available low to the South. |
| Home from Home! |
|---|
After Installation, all that is left to do is Move in! Many of our customers have Furnished their Observatories with all the toys required for a comfortable nights viewing.

| THE ITALIAN JOB ! |
|---|
We were lucky enough to be asked by a Professional Astronomy Tutor from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, to build a 10' x 8' Roll-off Observatory and take it over to his home in ITALY. We mounted his 14" Meade Lx200 on one of our 6" Shockproof Easy - Level Telescope Pedestals, and the viewing was fantastic.
|
| THE FRENCH JOB! |
|---|
This is currently our largest Observatory. 16' x 10' with a Warm Room. We were asked to build an Observatory that had a WARM Room at one end. The Warm Room is to enable the user to set up all of their computer equipment and other gadgets, and watch the telescope do all of its work from the comfort of the chair. There is also a 10' x 10' Observing Room to house the Telescopes in, so there is plenty of room to manouver. To view pictures of the construction of this Observatory, please follow the link below to the customers own website. Please note that the text is in French. http://www.schalit.com/construction_observatoire.htm We hope to be back in France soon. |
