Hello Everyone,
If you require help, tips, plans etc for building an Roll Off Roof style observatory, i am gathering as much information as possible, including plenty of photos and placing them in a observatory group that i have created to help astronomers over at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Roll_Off_Roof/
Feel free to join and start reading up on observatory construction.
Kind Regards
Stewart

Very nice site you've put together & it looks like the observatory turned out great. I could practically live in there.
I would love to build one like that but there is one big obstacle: light pollution.
