An observatory in dark skies at 7100 ft. elevation is a dream come true.

Site selection on the property for the observatory was done the very first day I was shown the lot.

Several years later, after encouragement from my astronomy friend Chris, who offered to help out, I decided an opportunity like this must be acted upon.

Work began in the summer of 2002, please enjoy the pictures!
