The Astro Booth is an ultra simple observatory with a clever roof design which opens in sections that stack on top of each other. This has the benefit of not requiring any kind of support to hold the roof like a traditional roll off roof. It therefore gives you much more freedom of placement as a space equivalent to the size of the roof does not need to be allowed for.
The observatory is designed to be home assembled. It consists of a galvanised steel base which is bolted together. On to this is fitted a 15mm Marine Ply floor. The centre of the frame allows for a pier. The walls consist of aluminium panels. The roof is supplied in three sections that are motorised. A simple open close switch is supplied. For automation of the roof we recommend the addition a Lunatico Dragonfly. Alternatively we can integrate the Talon Roof Control System.
See a video below showing how simple construction is. The 2.0m x 2.0m version is shown.
The Booth has a 500mm cut-out within its still frame to allow for the pier. The structure is supported by its base and so only needs 'pads' to support it rather than a foundation.
The cost of the Booth includes Delivery subject to location. Remote areas may incure a surcharge. Installation is available as an optional extra
