This page used to have a "Real Player" video of
the observatory during construction, but now displays a mpg video. The visual quality is better, but the photographic
skills couldn't be much worse. It nonetheless shows some of the basic functions and layout of the observatory, PRIOR to adding the RCOS 16 inch Ritchey-Chreiten telescope. Currently the entire observatory is
fully robotic (ie, all functions can be run remotely). This video can be slow to load up (about 51 MB) and you'll need
a media player, such as Windows Media Player, to view this.

Second Video: Roof-Side View...
|
|
|
Here's a breif view of the observatory AFTER
the RC Optical 16 inch Ritchey-Chretien reflector has been added. There's little to say about this video, it's
just a brief view of the observatory from the roof. It has about as much artistic and technical skill as the last video
(ie, none). Hopefully it will give you a sense of how the observatory was designed for both for serious astrophotography
and star parties.
