Here's one for you. Imagine me fitting into that observatory with the setup! (I know it isn't meant for that). On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Jorge Gutierrez <gotfoxx@hotmail.com>wrote:
Its kinda cool how theres even a security camera inside of it, I guess that’s just in case a midget burglar breaks in through that window?

Last time I was down there there were "only" two observatories but
they're recently added a third. And what a cute little observatory it is. And I do mean little:

Jerry designed and built it himself. Made out of powder coated metal.
Really looks great.
And while looking at the picture, notice the background. How would you
like to have a backyard like that?!
After lunch Dave and Charlotte dropped me back at Kanab International and
then headed home to St. George where Dave set to work seeing if my trusty old ST-237 still works. Didn't take him long to figure it out as he just sent me some test image he took tonight. (You work fast Dave <g>).
As for my return flight, flying through this was lots of fun:

Happily the clouds cleared off by the time I got home and I'm now on
