Well I aadded some more nautical stuff to my Observatory.
First, I repaired and added this ship model and next to it is one of my lighthouse models I build on drift wood.

Along the shipwheel wall I decided to actually make the wheel work..so I installed several pullies and rope and it runs around the wall to a lamp on the opposite wall(by the window) Up..we're open and ready...lowered and we're closed.....just fun nonsensical stuff. Placed some nautical boxes/pictures and placed some large blocks by the wheel.

Fun fun fun.

Hi Greg,

You've made a really nice job of the new observatory. I like the red lights behind the wall panels too.

How often do you swap the scopes over?

Cheers,

Keith

Darn...I'm using a new MAC computer and I can't figure out how to reduce the images so they fit here...they appear to be loading but no actual picture is evident...anybody know the process when using a MAC to reduce images?

Thanks,

Rob

Rob, just open the picture in Preview (the default app when opening an image on the Mac). Go to Tools and then Adjust Size. The bottom of that window will show you the Resulting Size which is how big the file will be after you adjust the width and height. Keep Scale Proportionally selected.
