[@bobstx]

Looks good and the hiking looks amazing.

It's taking shape, Mårten. Good stuff. Now if it was me, I would have already cut off 3 or more fingers and my left arm. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! We are getting to the hard part. I also need to get the large tree taken care of before I assemble the thing.

Did you consider using a Truss for the roof to give you more clearance for your scope? Perhaps enough such that you would not need to have a "Observatory Home"? It would be nice to not have to worry about opening or closing the roof and hitting the telescope.By the way, love your videos. I guess yours will be the "best" observatory build I've watched so far.

Thank you so much for watching!
I did consider different designs but I ended up with this since I wanted the scope to be as high up as possible to get the most clearance for the horizon. In retrospect I could have had it mounted a bit lower though. I probably would have gone for full height if I were to build it again just because it's a bit hard to be in there.

Clearly not a framer however it all worked out, good job.

[@frosthastrophotography]

No, I'm not a professional framer, I work with information security :)

Can I hire you to make a sliding roof for me?

[@frosthastrophotography]

Thank you, but I'm no professional :)
