The JaZ Observatory

Toward the end of 2002 I started thinking about designing and building an observatory to house my Lurie-Houghton telescope. After discussion with friends, searching the web for ideas, and much playing around in AutoCAD, I finally came up with a workable design. This part of my web site shows the design through the means of a photo gallery. I named the observatory after my children, Jacob and Zoe. Look around and enjoy.
