early part of this year i went to b and q and brought a 6x4 shed (thats big as i was able to have ) i cut all the pannels down to the hight i wanted and then made the shed up then made a big hole in the base .

my roof is made from pollycarb with a wood frame its quite light i can lift with one arm this pins in place and i can lift off and ready within a min

got the base for the peir sorted and all bolted down only to find i had to take the shed apart to get over the peir lol

all sorted now im just waiting on my new ccd to come.

ive still a fue bits to sort but not much though, i cant think of a name so hoping you guys can help

Tricky, any lifestyle or location clues to give folks ideas????

How about a pun based on the fact that your shed seems to like being on it's side?

Excellent kit, by the way!

[Nillchill]

Sorry to be a bit Clichéd but why not paint it blue and call it the Tardis??

[barkis]

That is nice job, and small it may be, but it does the job.

The kit does look splendid, and I hope you get the rewards your efforts deserve. I would let your family choose a name.

It looks really good..

If I could have an obs i would call it 'the cheeseshop' from the Monty python sketch.......

Can you see Orion ? Sorry it's cloudy over there.

Perseus ? Wrong time of year squire.

Mars...? Let me see....oh nope the next doors cat is in the way

You get the idea

[Maltese Falcon]

How about "The Kats Kradle"?

[yeti monster]

How about the Astronomy Shed?

[adamsp123]

chez nous

[astrokat]

still aint got one lol thanks for all the idea guys

[Photosbykev]

call it "the Pub"

I'm just going down the pub dear.

[Moonshane]

why not call it 'The Milky Bar'

it's small, it contains some bars (dovetails), plays on Milky Way, and it's full of lovely white goodness.

[Moonshane]

cracking job BTW.

[Beyond_Vision]

It's the 'Kats Whiskers'

Regards

Kevin

[barkis]

How about "Shedsky";)

Ron.

[brianb]

Sorry but I don't understand this need to give things names ... if you've only one observatory, "the observatory" seems quite sufficient to me.

[Tim]

yep, i'd go with "Obs"

[LukeSkywatcher]

Is it male or female?

[yeti monster]

call it "the Pub"

I'm just going down the pub dear.

I think it might be better to rename the pub to "The Observatory"...

[michael8554]

You could keep it simple like already suggested, The Shed, or The Observatory.

Many famous Obs are named after a rich benefactor such as Hale, Keck, so if you have a friend or relation who's always ready to help or shell out, you could name it for them.

Or something grander like The Sesame Street Deep Space Observation Center, very marketable if you want to charge for group visits :->

Or as you're AstroKat, call it Kat's Kradle?

Cheers

Michael

[astrokat]

lol im quite a sad person lol though i like the kats cradle and kats wiskers im gonna have to go with ssdsoc love it lol

[bish]

What about 'the sky box'? think this may be taken for something else already!

I am going to be converting a shed soon. Does the roof come completely off avoiding a frame/runners etc?
