Homebuilt Observatories

NY Times is running this story about amateur astronomers building their own observatories in their back yard. Years ago my brother bought an enourmous home telescope, I think a 12"-er. It was so big it really needed to be set up permanently, but that wasn't going to happen in their small town-home. Now he lives out in the middle of nowhere, with a great big back yard. Hey, this sounds like a project for ya Jeff!
