Dry Creek View Observatory New Version

 

 

 

 

When I was building my observatory, I searched the Web extensively to get ideas on how to approach the project. I knew I wanted to do Astrophotography and was undecided on whether to go with a Dome or a Roll off Roof. To keep the wind out, I elected to go with the Dome. There were some impressive Dome and Roll off Roof designs complete with Control Rooms. It was during this search that I got my taste of good quality astrophotography photographs that could be taken with scopes other than the Hubble Space Telescope. With permission I post the following links to other web sites. Each give their unique insight into the world of astronomy. These sites can also give tips on how to build your own backyard observatory.
