Outfitting the interior
This is the NW corner of the observatory. The shelf is at desk height which makes it convenient for computer equipment and such. The blue box is a 1500 Watt inverter which provides power for the vacuum cleaner, the computer, and other 120 VAC appliances.

The SE wall was constructed after I had well determined my traffic patterns in the dark. I needed some shelf space as well as something to shore up the door opening (left and unseen of picture). The SE end has a space at 4' for charts used at night. The sleeping pad folds down at night.Solid storage is critical for all the little doo dads you end up getting

The mechanics tool chest offers nice gliding drawers that are just right for holding eyepieces, charts, and telescope accessories. Note the 4' tall shelf which is ideal for observing charts at night.

	These are my babies. A C11 and VX102mm refractor are mounted side by side in a saddle mount on a Losmandy G11 piered platform.
