This is my 2 tier Backyard Observatory which houses my Celestron CPC 1100 (11 inch) telescope on a permanent pier so I don't have to calibrate it every night. The second tier is for computer equipment and to keep me warm on cold nights. The top roof is on heavy duty rollers and locks onto the front hinged section. We planted the side with succulents to keep the place cool and add some greenery. Can't wait until its fully operational, the next stage is to add a motor to the roof.
