KPO Update - Building the Rolloff Observatory & 18" Scope Installation

This is the latest update on the progress of KPO Phase 2, the addition of the rolloff observatory, and the moving & installation of the 18" KPO Reflector onto the new Observing Deck. This is a good view of the assembly of the 18" Reflector telescope, which weighs over 300 pounds.

I started watching your videos back in the star hopping days. It really taught me a lot and got me interested in astronomy. Really glad to see your still around making videos.

Yes, I remember Galen - great to hear from you again! Stay tuned for an announcement about a new video series!

How did you learn to frame and build the shed?

[@davidhearn9596]

I have build several small buildings and one large one - the main observatory. The Rolloff building was pretty straight forward.🙂
