Check out this VERY low cost observatory - well not really but I think it might work!

They seem to be catching up with our needs.
Do they have real estate to go under it?

I have a 3' X 8' shed out back I have entertained ideas of converting. But it is directly under the overhead utilities, close to a power pole, and probably too narrow in the first place.

Ahhh... my kingdom for 5 acres in the middle of the desert....

Very interesting, now if they had one that's 10'x10'x8' it might fit my SCT scope.

Looks like the one I keep my lawnmower in.
