Dome and Roll-Off Roof Observatories |
|
Amateur astronomy is a very fun and rewarding hobby. There is nothing like the upclose view of celestial objects through a telescope.
And with the modern computerized telescopes and equipment available today, you have capabilities that only professional installations
had thirty years ago.
But telescopes and their related equipment are not designed to be left outside unprotected. Every time you want to do a little
stargazing you will spend 30+ minutes to haul out the equipment and setup and align the scope and then the same amount of time
to bring everything back inside. If you are doing astrophotography you can probably add another hour of setup time cabling the
cameras and computer, doing a precise telescope alignment and waiting for the equipment to properly cool down.
The solution is your own home observatory. With a home observatory, stargazing just got a lot more comfortable. Setup time has been
reduced to opening the dome or rolling off a roof and flipping on the telescope power switch. For astrophotography, cameras and
computers are always ready for action and the telescope is at the ambient outside air temperature. You can even have a control room
to keep you warm during cold winter nights.

observatories, ranging from modest structures to sophisticated, fully automated configurations. And as a dealer for telescopes,
