Winchester Observatory

Winchester Observatory

Winchester Observatory is a six-foot diameter HomeDome built right on top of the house! The dome is fully motorized and uses Digital DomeWorks and a wireless weather station for remote CCD imaging from the attic control room. The telescope is a 10" f/6.3 LX-200.

Lest anyone think that Walter has been completely lost to the CCD, the observatory is still used regularly for visual observing too!
