An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial or celestial events. Astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geology, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. Historically, observatories were as simple as containing an astronomical sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) or Stonehenge (which has some alignments on astronomical phenomena).
Astronomical observatories are mainly divided into four categories: space based, airborne, ground based and underground based.
Ground-based observatories, located on the surface of Earth, are used to make observations in the radio and visible light portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Most optical telescopes are housed within a dome or similar structure, to protect the delicate instruments from the elements. Telescope domes have a slit or other opening in the roof that can be opened during observing, and closed when the telescope is not in use. In most cases, the entire upper portion of the telescope dome can be rotated to allow the instrument to observe different sections of the night sky. Radio telescopes usually do not have domes.
A tour of my homemade observatory.
In this video I use a Fish-Eye lens in order to show the full width view of the observatory room. A regular lens would not show it well. I know that the camera has alot of movement and the Fish-Eye effect makes it a bit dizzy to view, but this is the best I got for now.
Construction of my personal observatory, the pictures are preliminary. Will upload the finalised images of the site and astronomical objects soon...

A little narrative on how I built my roll away observatory. It can then be used as a warm room once it is rolled away from your scope. This design is great for small backyards or where space is limited. Built with a Keter Apex 4x6 resin shed.
Construction photos of my first DIY observatory from start to finish. ASIGN Observatory has been a wonderful ministry for six years. Time to upgrade! It has now been decomissioned, demolished and the website is offline. ASIGN Observatory II is now under construction, with the new website to document it already online. http://www.asignobservatoryii.com

She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
Maybe that's just a fight that you can't win.
So we met and we started the clock
Did that help ? No it did not
I suppose I knew that going in.
And now watch as the broken hearts begin.
But at least we were calm on the road to the big observatory
Where the planets were hung and the stars swung around
The second story and we stumbled upon
A room where a luminous moon was waning
And I knew I was gone but at least we were calm .
Fun is fun but when push comes to shove
When it's done we deny it was love
And we say : 'What were we thinking of ?".
And the room where we looked at the sky
Will be there with its telescope eye
Now I won't get to meet all your friends.
As we go down the street of dead ends.
But at least we were calm on the road to the big observatory
Where the planets were hung and the stars swung around
The second story and we stumbled upon
A room where a luminous moon was waning
And I knew I was gone but at least we were calm.
She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
