My warm room I built a few years after main building. That made life so much better during the winter months. lol..

Kevin I built the observatory in 2000 and first warm room in 2001. The warm room was replaced about 5 years ago when I updated the roof wheels and track and revamped the observatory interior. Florida takes its toll on buildings like that.

Awesome observatory man-cave! I really need to start collecting the paperwork for regional council to build one. The skies ain't getting any darker, with the nearby city expansion. Right now it's just a small shed on a rail track that barely fits the scope, so while imaging it's just opened to all the elements and the wind.

I feel the same about mine, love being out there. One of the next projects is to motorize the roof. Already have the equipment just have to put it together. Hope to see more videos soon.

I'm working on getting my Observatory functional again. Kinda been out of the hobby for a while. I built My roll off Observatory 20 years ago.

Great video. Very informative and really like your setup and observatory. I have watched several videos on construction and tours of observatories but I always had a lingering question. This is something I am sure you had to face especially in Florida. With a removable roof how do you keep water out and doesn't your rig get exposed to a lot of moisture? Thank you for all your time creating your videos and sharing your experiences.

Christopher T welcome aboard! Thanks for the great comments! About the rain getting in. If you look closely at the sides, the top has a overhang and the gable ends lineup so that there is very small gap. So much for the great sunshine stat,huh? I keep all caps and covers on the instruments when not in use. The main scope is draped with a cover when not in use. I also wipe down all equipment with wd40 once a year to prove that any rust.. Hopefully I can get back to the observatory soon!

No matter how careful you are, you are always going to make mistakes setting up and tearing down every night. For my portable system I bought a cheap toilet tent that I can place over the system in case of clouds/rain. An obsy is definitely the way to go, especially with the bigger telescopes.

Sobi have a question, what keeps the roll off roof from blowing off in winds/storms? Sweet observatory though

Scott Adams thanks for the great comment! The roof is secured when closed at each corner with a turn buckle and released when opened for business. In this video you can just see one just over my shoulder when I enter the main observatory. Clear skies!

@@baugham2 awesome, I was wondering about that. Thanks for your answer. I wasn't sure if it was secured or not on there so I started brainstorming on fixing that if not, came up with rollers similar to roller coaster but good to know that isn't necessary.

I’m pretty sure your little fella had nothing to do with the demise of that telescope! Too nice of a kid.

Very nice observatory.Congratulations.But you really need to upgrade that terrible focus camera for your vlogs.There is so much blur in your image, almost nothing is in focus.
