Welcome to CN and congratulations on your upcoming observatory build! Probably our best and brightest on remote control of an observatory is Marcus who has JATO.. a remotely operated Sirius dome. A number of his operations are solar powered and he can in fact run his observatory using his iPhone from anywhere in the world. You can check out his site at JATO You'll find that most of us here at CN are more than willing to bend your eyes and ears and show off our observatories! Our observatories run from simple DIY projects using PVC pipe and tarps to 30' domes with huge hand made Dobs lurking inside. Most of us who've built an observatory have a thread that chronicles the build and we post lots of pictures so you can follow along. Some builds go quickly and smooth as glass, others have been a lesson in frustration and grace under pressure. This is the place to ask your questions and get answers from all over the world or just around the corner. So once again welcome to CN and please share your progress as you move forward.
