Today my son Steven and I started restoring my observatory. It hasn't been used for several years. All my observations these last years were done from other locations.
Reason for this restoration : my son wants to get started in astronomy. And he want to do it all, observing, taking pictures, even making his own scope. The mirrors we were grinding were on hold for a few months due to Corona. But now we're back in business.

Total length of my observatory is about 10m, observatory itself is 5m long and 3.5m wide. The roll-off roof is very easy to handle.
All the wood on the left is gone now and will be replaced next week.
Also some pruning needs to be done...you surely might have noticed...😁
