Observatory Completed and Named

I have named my observatory the Upton Farm Observatory (UFO) in honor
of my late father-in-law's farm.

I have completed virtually all of the work that can be done before
winter, and the observatory is ready for use*. I installed the carpet,
the pier, the wedge, and, finally, the telescope, on Wednesday,
November 17.

Please see http://www.davidillig.com/observatory14.shtml for the
final work. The story begins he

*I took advantage of a long spell of clear weather to complete the
exterior details such as caulking. The clouds rolled in as I tightened
the last bolt that attaches the telescope to the wedge on the afternoon
of November 17. As this is written, November 22, there is no relief in
sight.
