Welcome to the Ash Observatory. In August of 2004 I purchased a Meade LX200GPS/UHTC 14" SCT telescope. After a month of hauling this beast out and back into the house to observe, I quickly decided that I needed to build an observatory to house it. This site is a picture/instruction guide to the steps taken to construct my observatory. It is not totally done yet as some of the funds for observatory went to purchasing a Losmandy G-11/Gemini to be used as a travelling setup. Site will be updated as construction continues.
