After many years of setting up my equipment in the backyard in a column next to the pool I decided
to move to a permanent location. Our house has a flat roof terrace so I decide to move up there.

The flat roof terrace has a better view of the horizon. Unfourtunately light pollution is extreme at
our site. This the view to the south.

The North view is no better, street lamps nearby are very powerful

Some shielding was needed so I drafted som plans for a roll-off observatory and had
them sent to the folks at www.pergolasyporches.com
