ST. WIGGLES OBSERVATORY:
Here is where I had to leave off before a historic winter storm covered everything with several inches of snowfall and frigid temperatures. Today, the high never hit 30 degrees, and that's just weird for Seattle. Already, my observatory has been cursed by our weather. Here, you can see the window and the rails that will enable half the roof to retract. No sense making the entire roof retract as I can't see the zenith or to the north at all. This observatory is strictly for lunar, planetary and solar viewing.

The front wall will fold down (the part not yet completed) completely opening the southern exposure. And when not in use, the observatory will be locked up tight. The construction is very solid and very heavy duty. I've actually done more work since this photo was taken (completing the T-111, additional framing supports, 4x4 supports for the roof rails, etc.) but have been unable to get a photo as I worked out in the falling snow - until it became unbearable.
