A.S.I.G.N. Observatory (Barry's home-made observatory)

Post by Barry »

HI all!

Barry's home-made observatory is now completed and FULLY OPERATIONAL!!!!! yay! It has been one complete year in the making. It certainly doesn't feel like it!

I have also had a professional re-design on the website, so now it looks better and is NOT located at the old barry's home-made observatory (iinet.net) link. It has been re-named A.S.I.G.N Observatory. See the new link below. Please take a look and enjoy.

I have big ideas for more astronomy related projects and development of the site so please stay tuned!

God bless,

Barry.

Congrats, Barry!

I am really envious of you guys down under. You have great skies and opportunities to build your own observatory!

Here's another observatory solution although it looks more like a holiday resort than an observatory. Good thing it has a porch so you can sit and drink coffee with friends while waiting...heh heh
