Default astro: finished observatory

I need a name for it now. I wanted to use "Mole Hill Observatory" but
seems there is one in Australia called "Mount Molehill Observatory". Not
the same but close.

That went together fast from the previous shot. Don't try that roof up
here! Snow would collapse it in no time. I've got two feet of heavy
compacted snow on mine right now.

So when do the first astro images star rolling in? Or do you have to
wait for the new camera?

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

The camera is in route from Colorado,I expect it will rain for a week
when it arrives. Happy new year!

I'd like to see it but the image posting did not make it through on my
server

any chance you could send a link to the image on a website?

Howdy Bill! Haven't heard from you in a long time. Hope all is well with
you and that you have a happy new year.

When you have to put your observatory on a mole hill to get some
elevation you know you are in a flat land. That is a unique name!
