A roll-off roof or dome observatory is the answer for the most popular home observatory design.  Almost every practical astronomer eventually aspires to have a fixed, permanent observatory for his or her telescope. A roll-off roof or dome observatory is the answer for the most popular home observatory design. Building a Roll-Off or Dome Observatory will help you decide whether to embark on the venture and will certainly increase your enthusiasm for the project. The author, both an amateur astronomer and a professional landscape architect, answers many of the common questions asked about observatory construction, covering the following topics: • Zoning, and by-law requirements common to most states, towns and municipalities • Where to locate the observatory • How to tailor the observatory for your particular needs • Tools and structural components required • Possible variations in design • How to combine the structure with other structures (incorporating a garden patio under the gantry in the roll-off roof observatory, for example) This fully detailed outlines step- by-step construction, with professional detailed diagrams for each phase of construction.The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,1431-9756Observations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsAstronomyConstructionAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Popular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Basics of Constructionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K1700XObservations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Astronomy.Construction.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Popular Science in Astronomy.Basics of Construction.522.1Hicks John Stephenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut815570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254641003321Building a Roll-Off Roof or Dome Observatory2513932UNINA
