Observatory construction
Переглядів 31 тис.7 років тому
After a thorough research for a permanent observatory, I decided to construct one myself. I used a Pulsar dome, which is located on the flat roof of my garage. Special thanks goes to my wife Trudy (it was her idea to go for the flat-roof option), and my brother Aart (very experienced in construction) for their excellent support, and to Gary from Pulsar Observatories for delivering the required ...

You go dude, wow!!
That was badass
De Koepel is gewoon een kant een klare Kit die je kan kopen begrijp ik?
Ja dat klopt, het is een Pulsar. Deze heb ik in UK besteld, maar in Nederland zitten ook leveranciers dit type kunnen leveren.
Great obs! Enjoyed watch the build.
Friend. Congratulations for the project. This is exactly what I was thinking of doing some day. I still have to setup all my equipments every time I want to see the stars. But here in my country I would still need to find a way to make the dome. If you can share the blueprints I would be very grateful. Clear skies.
How did you manage to seal the joint, between existing roof and new observatory dome?
Awesome blueprint at the end! :-D. Good thing you included the measurement of the plateau!
Thats some great work. Did you need planning, or do you have amenable neighbors?
Thanks. No need for planning, wonderfull neighbors :-).
You are so versatile! In the final drawing, gave me the construction plan! Thank you! 👍
Better with the sound off, far too loud...
Hello thanks for the contact. If you consult the owner's manual of the device you are using to view this video, you will find that the vast majority of devices come with volume controls. toggle these up and down until you get to your preferred volume level. Thanks, the management.
Hope that mount can take all the weight from that telescope....
Sure, solid as rock.
Prachtig gedaan Ad.
Awesome work! What's the song btw?
Thanks ! The music is called solfeggietto from C.P.E. Bach ;-)
Ik begrijp niet hoe je de zwarte rubber vijverfolie vast maakt, want de natuurstenen rand heb je eerst vastgezet. Kun je dat vertellen?
Omdat dit een van de weinige filmpjes met een vijverrand van stapelblokken is, en het verder heel informatief is; de folie is zeer waarschijnlijk met een latje tegen de zijkant geschroefd, uit het zicht onder de overstekende rand.
Dear Al: Thanks for sharing your observatory experiences in your UA-cam channel. Back in 2015 I wrote a book Building a Small Observatory: Lessons From Builders to be published by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, with all proceeds from the book going to RASC programs. The RASC subsequently published my book in 2016 (secure.rasc.ca/ItemDetail?iProductCode=506). I am now in the process of updating this book for a second edition, so I’m contacting small observatory owners to talk to them about their projects. The idea is to share all your triumphs and problems so that people contemplating building their own small observatory can avoid the mistakes we made and take advantage of our creativity. Clear Skies, Charles Ennis 2nd Vice President, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada email: cuhulain at telus dot net
ARG!!! Well done
daar had wel een muziekje bij gemogen :D
Yay, that's one hell of a project :) Looking forward to build one myself!
Perhaps a very nice video if he had run at normal speed! Unfortunately, not the case ... !!!
Keep in mind that this is a time lapse. This video is not meant as an instruction video.
Congrats!!! Great video and great job!
Wow and I thought I over engineered my mount. Fantastic job! Must be a blast to use!!
All that and the city lights still limit your viewing
The observatory is not used for viewing at all, it's used for remote-controlled narrowband astrophotography. The results are really stunning. Besides that, it saves hours of time since one can start imaging without the need to setup all equipment for each and every session. And finally, I'm having a lot of fun with the project. Enjoy life, Andy.
@@adkooiman I think he means all the light pollution. It will greatly affect your quality. Probaly alot of atmospheric interference in cities aswell
@@klab3929 Yes, light pollution is exactly what I tried to explain and how to deal with it. You can eliminate light pollution perfectly fine when using the correct filters for astrophotography. In addition, using image processing software like PixInsight, you can eliminate any remaining gradients and artifacts. For astrophotography, light pollution is history nowadays.
wow looks like A LOT of work
Yes it is, but very nice to do !
that's awesome
Love It !!!
Here in Tucson, AZ we have several home with built in Domes. Now I see how they could use second floor as main part of Observatory. This is somewhat like how they built large outreach dome on Kitt Peak NOAO next visitor center, only ours was two stories High with full large dome on top with 24” RC scope.
Great work. Beautiful time-lapse
Okay, I have some questions. 1. How big is the dome? 2. How high is the dome off of the floor, in the center? 3. How high is the pier, both from the top of the concrete and from the floor above it? What I'm looking for here is an idea of how far up you need to put the mount into the dome for it to have a full view of the sky, including down low to near the horizon. Any other information you can give on the actual build and operation of the dome and telescope would be really appreciated. Looks like a nice job.
🤣
Congratulations! Absolutely brilliant video and sound track! :-))
Dat is echt gaaf!
Muziekje eronder was fijn geweest, goede video verder!
