1. Roof sheeting going on. Slowly filling in all the sky gaps!
2. About 1/4 of the roofing done.
ASIGN Observatory II is back on track!
Re: ASIGN Observatory II is back on track!
1. Nearly half-way with the roof sheeting.
2. View through the slot from the far wall at telescope height to give an idea of where the horizon is in relation to a horizontal scope.
3. View through the slot from directly above the pier, where the telescope will be mounted. No need for the slot opening to be any lower as all you will see it trees and oncoming cars from up the road.

Re: ASIGN Observatory II is back on track!
Looking good Barry! Can't wait for it to be finished and seeing "first light".
Can't see the EXIF data but I'm pretty amazed that you can see the stars in the photo. Was it a longer exposure shot or are the stars that bright over there?
Regards

15 second exposure mate, but yes, we do have good dark skies - even with the city light pollution. I've seen a lot worse, like Sydney.....Airconvent wrote:Looking good Barry! Can't wait for it to be finished and seeing "first light".
