Looks like a nicely built observatory.

Vaguely intrigued as to HOW one transports an existing observatory!

Dismantle the thing? A Crane? Flatbed... Low Loader truck?

Potential future reference, maybe. [part serious]

Looks good - would love something like this in my garden (doubt the missus would be happy though) - the scary thought is how to relocate something like this, and I love the comment on ebay about using a fork lift to move the roof! How much does something like that weigh?

Have to agree, transport will be a problem, this has crossed my mind as I have given first take on my garden observatory to a friend on here and it will require a flatbed and a few bodies.

Too expensive IMO. You can get a 2.2m Pulsar + ring for £2.4k new. Unless you think the Meade + bits and bobs are worth £1.6k (Plus Pulsar will deliver)

The dome looks like a 'DIY' build and un-dismantlable. So not worth a lot TBH. The scopes on the other hand are more desirable as separate lots.

[Gina]

Yes, I agree with that.

Looks like a good solid construction. With a spruce-up it could look fabulous. Over-priced though I think.
