University small roof deck observatory.

I build the gables on the ground and then attached them to the secured roll off slider. Tele station3 roll off roof observatory is a add on observatory that can be attached to a sub structure. The observatory has a motorized roof that rolls off to expose the sky. Move the entrance to the deck to the middle of the north side to allow for better crowd management around small telescopes on the east end of the deck.

Perfect for observing the moon and planets as well as deep space phenomena these portable telescopes are the observatory s primary teaching instruments. The observatory also houses six celestron cpc 800 8 inch schmidt cassegrain telescopes for use in the roll off roof observatory and observation deck. Bump out the southwest corner of the deck giving us more space and accommodating future changes to the 14 inch telescope enclosure. Observatory the observatory is a classic roll off roof backyard observatory with an insulated control room.

It has an external deck for for visual observing while the permanently mounted teelscopes two are used for imaging. Amenities at observatory flats include a community roof deck parking and a fitness center. The overall size of the observatory is small only 8 foot to a side so i elected to only have corner points for the foundation with the span between the corners supported by the structural integrity of the joists vertical 2x6 s. The 2 2 meter inside diameter provides plenty of space to operate up to a 14 schmidt cass or a refractor 1400mm long.

A roof top observatory is the only. Amenities at observatory flats include a community roof deck parking and a fitness center. Move the storage shed off the deck. At the corner locations i dug small pits down about 18 inches and filled them with pea gravel.

I followed the plans from skyshed for the the gable and roof construction again using deck screws. Observatory flats is a new mid rise close to the university of denver. For building the roof frame i used a 2 x 6 for the main cross beam and used a 2 x 4 support to level and hold in place. Ive almost completely dismissed this one and concluded moving is the only practical way for me to get an observatory but ill throw this out to the group in my postage sized lot a ground based observatory wont work unless you take over most the back yard and only look straight up.

The observatory actually a custom shed contains a permanently mounted telescope with a ccd camera.
