A picture of Doug's observatories and one of his numerous telescopes. He has several rather nice refractors, but in the top part of the image you can see a Maksutov OMC 140 made by Orion. Its a lovely bit of kit and in this instance mounted upon a Super Polaris mount. The first observatory is a simple design that can be quickly constructed by modifying a standard shed design. The second has been built to hold his 12" telescope and features double doors that let him see to the horizon.
