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.

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.
Griffith Observatory Planetarium Griffith's Park Mount Hollywood Sign Famous Space & Science Display http://www.1ownercarguy.com Up here on Mount Hollywood at the Griffith Observatory located in Los Angeles California in Griffith's Park. It was just our luck that they were closed but you are able to walk around it and check out the scenery you just can't go inside. This place is pretty famous and well known. A few movies have been filmed here with the most famous one probably being "Rebel Without A Cause" starring James Dean. It was a cloudy rainy day but I was able to get some good video of all the outside displays and some of the scenery from atop the L.A. area and some more of the famous Hollywood Sign.

The One World Observatory officially opens Friday next week. Cool tech attractions include elevators that boast a virtual time-lapse of the New York City skyline and interactive tools that help visitors explore and learn about the city. Anthony Mason gets a behind-the-scenes look at the experience.
Construction of my personal observatory, the pictures are preliminary. Will upload the finalised images of the site and astronomical objects soon...
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
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.
Jonathan Fay's fascination with outer space began the first time he looked through a telescope. With a little help from his family, the amateur astronomer designed and built his own observatory – right in his backyard! Today, he can be found observing planetary nebula and galaxies from his 8-foot dome. This is the fourth episode of Sanctuary, a new Zillow series profiling individuals who took their passions to new levels by building out their space to do what they love most.

For Joon. This extra ordinary, below average video quality was brought to you by the iPhone 6 from Apple. As stated in my previous video (which I might even delete now that I verified my account), I tried to record the whole show but fell short due to limited phone memory. I managed to record the opening/Whatever I Want to Bitch Please. Did not get Spikes, Known For It, Three Bedrooms In A Good Neighborhood, Lord Of The Game, I Break Mirrors, or The Fever. (Wasn't Black Dice performed too?) Hopefully others can fill the gaps to have a complete online document of this amazing show by one the best groups of this decade. This YouTube channel has some good footage of stuff I did not manage to record, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJHC... Track Listing: 0:00 Whatever I Wan...

Tilbrook-Mann
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
