My minimalist observatory is under construction. You may follow the project development through my posts. So here you may find just the current situation for each component.
The project steps/components are:
- Prepare the land
- Build the solar power
- Build the control box
- Preparing the basement
- Create the pillar and mount
- Building the mount envelope 1: the fixed part
- Building the mount envelope 2: the movable part
- Building the telescope envelope
- Setup the remote scope control
- Test everything
- Mount the observatory to the destination site
- The imaging train
Beware that no part could be considered finished. In fact there is always way of improve each component! This is more true since each projects component is usually a first. Indeed this is the beauty of being an amateur observatory maker.
