Observatory: Overview of DeepSkyJam's observatory

Overview >>
To be ready to stargazing <<
The goal >>

To use my equipment more frequently and to be ready to stargaze within twenty minutes it's clear that an observatory is the right solution.
With this configuration I can imaging if the satellite images indicates that I may have less than two or three hours of clear sky. The observatory eliminates the need to setup everything each time you imaging and increasing your productivity because your equipment stay parked between two sessions.
To focus on the CCD imaging it's necessary to reach the maximum efficiency and flexibility of this observatory.

To do so there are several objectives to reach:

 - the observatory size will be enough with x inch by x inch
- the observatory will house the telescope and the control room in two separate places
 - each room will have to get the necessary plugs like computer network and power supply
 - the two rooms must be equipped with red light for night vision
 - a large window in the connecting wall will give a view of the telescope during the operations
 - the telescope will be placed under a fully opening roll of roof with an electrical remote system
 - the control room can be heat with no atmospheric perturbation on the telescope environment
 - (automatic observation)
