Great fun reading this thread! Some very cool, and heartfelt names! I live in northwestern Massachusetts, the north boundary of my farm is the Vermont state line, the east boundary is the town line of the next town, and my observatory was just a deck in a hayfield for its first year, so with all that in mind, Borderline Observatory seemed a good choice. I wanted to name the farm Borderline Farm, but my wife thought that was going a little too far.........

At this point in time, I just want to let anyone who's interested know that I've decided to name my backyard observatory..."Brown Ave.Observatory." I appreciate the help I got from you all, and I did give it a lot of thought. It just seemed so easy, and so appropriate to call it Brown Ave. Observatory...mainly because we live on Brown Ave. That is where it's located...so why not!! Thanks again folks!!
Clear Skies from Bob at Brown Ave. Observatory!!!

It's not really a flashy or 'romantic' or even unusual, but I always seemed to be 'unofficially' calling it that, so why not...now it's official!!
