Observatories

12" OBSERVATORY 16" OBSERVATORY 36" OBSERVATORY

We currently have expanded our hobby to include six observatories in the backyard that house a variety of scopes, each for its individualized special research. Several use CCD cameras for time-resolved variable star photometry, one for supernova patrol, one for H-alpha solar observing, and one for visual lunar and planetary observing. Three observatories are shown below: A 10' X 12' roll-off roof building....

This 6' x 8' roll-off camper-top roof observatory houses a Meade 12" LX-200.

Our 10' x 12' roll-off roof observatory houses a 16" F/4.2 Newtonian Reflector Telescope.

A 10' x 18' carport kit, that's been converted and rolls away on rails, will become the observatory that houses a 36" F/5 reflector being completed by ISS Enterprises, in Mayhill, NM.
