Re: New Observatory Project - Questions

I appreciate the reply as well as the pm's. I went to the jatobservatory website and realized that I have a lot to learn and consider. I still think I like the roll-off versus the dome because I won't have any light pollution to worry about. The only other consideration I see would be wind and honestly I don't know how bad it gets on my property. I am going to research that before I make a final decision though.

I am going to spend some time and read back through the threads and get some more knowledge. It is tough for me because I want instant gratification but I realize this is not as easy as I first thought. To have a non-robotic dome is one thing, but to be completely remote is another I am learning.

Again, thanks for the replies and comments and I will start posting pictures of my land as well as my progress. Any additional comments would be appreciated and I will continue to ask questions as they come up.

Regards,

Dave Miller
