Argos TSO ( Tin Shed Observatory)











During September I built a small observatory based on a 8' x6' tin shed kit from Argos.




The metal frame was very straight forward to erect and I used 50 x50mm framing to support a run-off track, used two sets of three 50mm castors; side seals were 5mm marine ply. Only took a couple of days and the results are great. Certainly NOT over kill ( it has to be a temporary construction as we are renting) but does the job.




Just big enough for the 12" LX200... an 8' x8' would be better!
