 This
is the observatory where we test all of our astronomical software. Click for a
larger image. There are also pages showing the equipment that's inside, as well
as the construction details.The observatory is a Technical Innovations
"HomeDome" HD-6S, with the RS6 rectangular skirt, placed upon a wooden structure
of our own design. The observatory is intended primarily for imaging, so the
telescope is mounted high up above head height, but visible use is still
possible by use of a kick-step or step ladder. The whole thing can be remote
controlled from the house or over the internet using a WiFi wireless LAN.
