oh my goodness! Karen, I love it and am impressed!

Is this your husbands hobby?

Thanks, Boo! I really had fun with that one, especially using all the different blues.

His college degree was in Astronomy, but in the early days that didn't pay very well, so he left the field. He ended up in software engineering. Now that he's retired he's back to it, and always wanted an observatory where everything was set up and ready to go. This one can be remotely operated by computers from wherever we are, so he can use it even when we're in Arizona or on a trip. He used to try to take astro photos from Phoenix, but the sky is too bright from all the lights now.NM skies are much darker, at least for now.

WOW - Just plain WOW

There is glow in the dark ceramic tile. I used it on my husbands Astronomical Observatory sign. I made a Kokopelli and a comet in the glow tile. It works very well, and stays bright most of the night. It has been up a few years now and is still going strong. This tile would be wonderful to use in a bathroom. You'd never need to turn on a light!

God...how much does a personal observatory cost . A

Karen, Wow ... great job!!

I'm just so happy it's holding up so well outdoors, through rain, hail, snow and frequent 50 mph winds.
