Stephen,
It took me awhile, but I have completed the observatory. If you remember me, I had the brown one. I very much enjoy my little club house.
I recently had to add an AC unit to keep the temperature below 90. I don't run it when I am using the observatory, just when I am not
in there and it is all closed up. I felt that the 125 degrees it was going up to was a bit high for my optics.
It is very weather proof and I think very pleasing to look at. It perfectly compliments my house.
I chose a thick rubber flooring over the concrete. I has a bit of cushion and is made for outdoor use. Dan
To ask Dan about his observatory, you can contact him by email at drichey@sandia.net.

Dear Stephen, I want to put on record my sincere appreciation of the excellent job that Chuck and Dennis did when they delivered
and erected the Observatory for me last night. I know that they were both very tired after their long drive ,and the weather was
not too co-operative, but I can tell you that I am very pleased with the whole project. I had not seen a complete observatory -
other than via pictures on the net - but the one I now have is exactly what I wanted. Sincerely, Ron M.

I took delivery of a
Clear Skys Observatory on Saturday. I am really impressed with the quality of the fiberglass work on this dome. I don't have it in
place yet as I still have some concrete work to get done but the quality of the work speaks for itself. The owner obviously takes
great pride in his product. I'll get some pictures posted in the next few weeks. My concrete person is telling me that he should be
able to get to me after Memorial Day or the first week in June.

Just wanted to send you a letter to tell you how much I'm enjoying my new
Clear Skys Observatory. Everything assembled nicely and moves without any binding. Even after several months of use, the large
dome rotates with the push of a couple of fingers on the handle. It is smooth and quiet. The shutter is an easy flip of a latch
and pull of a cord to slide open. I am also amazed at the room in this observatory. A friend has a smaller model from another
company and we are lucky to squeeze both of us in there with a 10" scope. I have my 12" SCT on a pier along with a table for
supplies and I can still fit 2 to 3 people in there with room to move. After observing several winters in the cold snow and
blistering winds I almost bought a smaller observatory for more money. I'm glad I found yours. Now not only am I out of the
weather and dew but I have room to spare for friends and visitors. Great Job Guys. Keep up the good work.

Got that beautiful observatory today. Much more than I expected. The finish is perfect although looks like
something rubbed on one of the wall panels. Its down through the color but is smaller than a quarter and I think it will be under
the dome. The box was big. I almost soiled myself when I first saw it come out of the truck. ... Man you guys have a great product
in the observatory. I still can't believe how perfect the finish and everything is. Holes all aligned everything marked. Makes me
ashamed that I ever doubted you. I hope you didn't take it personally since it wasn't intended. I'll get you some pics and the
assembly thing. Great Job Great product the #1 product in this class in my opinion.
