Our first telescope was a 4.5
inch relector. Small and easy to move around. It was bought in the
early 1980's and was upgraded in the mid 80's to a Meade 10 inch
Starfinder relector. This was a lot more difficult to store and set up
when
required. At this time Sue was the astronomer, I would pop out to look
at the occasional 'must-see' object and help with set up and storing of
the 10".
Eventually we had had enough of this and decided that an observatory
was
the only answer.

I developed an interest in astrophotography and bought myself a 4"
then a 6" refractor, the latter on a HEQ5 mount. After a season of
setting up outside in the cold we decided that a new observatory to
accomodate both of us was required.
So back to the drawing board.
