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. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aConstruction 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aBasics of Construction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K1700X 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aBasics of Construction. 676 $a522.1 700 $aHicks$b John Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0815570 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254641003321 996 $aBuilding a Roll-Off Roof or Dome Observatory$92513932 997 $aUNINA
