    I have no problem with do as you find best but just beaware that you can get to the point where what you are seeing are defects or structure in your eye. There is a famous example of this in respect of Mars. Regards Andrew

    Nice work. One concern I would have is the slope of the roof means any water on it could enter the observatory on opening or closing. Could you reverse it and or add a gutter? Regards Andrew

    At least to me "Primeval Atom" gives the impression that there is an external, extrinsic view. An outside vantage point where you could observe it from and watch it unfold. Regards Andrew
