TitleSetting-up a small observatory: From Concept to Construction
Author(s)David Arditti;Patrick Moore (Foreword by)
PublicationNew York, Springer, 2008.
Descriptionxv, 235p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteSetting up a Small Observatory addresses what you really need from an observatory, whether to build or buy, what designs you should consider, and where you should site it. Uniquely, it also considers the aesthetics of an amateur observatory: how to make it fit in with your home, garden, and yard, even disguising it as a more common garden building if necessary. There’s also a wealth of practical details for constructing and equipping your small observatory – everything from satisfying local planning laws and building codes through to making sure that your completed observatory is well-equipped, convenient, and comfortable to use. Whether you are considering a simple low-tech DIY approach to a fixed observatory, or aspiring to a sophisticated domed building, there is something here for you.

TitleBuilding a roll-off roof observatory: A Complete Guide for Design and Construction
Author(s)John Hicks
PublicationNew York, Springer, 2009.
Descriptionxv, 144p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NoteAlmost every practical astronomer who takes the pursuit to its second level aspires to a fixed, permanent housing for his telescope, permitting its rapid and comfortable use and avoiding hours of setting-up time for each observing session. A roll-off roof observatory is the simplest and by far the most popular observatory design for today’s practical astronomers. Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory will help you decide whether to embark on the venture and will certainly provoke your enthusiasm for the project.

TitleMy heavens!: Adventures of a Lonely Stargazer Building an Over-the-Top Observatory
Author(s)Gordon Rogers
PublicationNew York, Springer, 2008.
Descriptionxv, 180p.
Series(Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Abstract NotePerhaps you are already a stargazer using a small telescope you bring out to your back yard on clear nights. Perhaps you have a larger telescope that is mounted outside and protected from inclement weather. Perhaps you just dream of someday owning a fancy telescope set-up and turning it skyward to view the neighboring planets and moons of the Solar System or the stars that wink at you from millions of miles away. Whether you might want to undertake building an over-the-top dome observatory yourself or not, you are sure to enjoy this informative tale by Gordon Rogers, told with humor and humility, of his torturous but ultimately rewarding experience with building for himself, attached to his own home, a fancy and sophisticated dome observatory, just for the pleasure of sky watching on beautiful nights (of which there are far too few in England!).
