| Title | Setting-up a small observatory: From Concept to Construction |
| Author(s) | David Arditti;Patrick Moore (Foreword by) |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2008. |
| Description | xv, 235p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Setting 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.
Thereâs also a wealth of practical details for constructing and equipping your small observatory â 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. |

| Title | My heavens!: Adventures of a Lonely Stargazer Building an Over-the-Top Observatory |
| Author(s) | Gordon Rogers |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2008. |
| Description | xv, 180p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Perhaps 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!). |
