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.
