Observatory Security System

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Hello Brian!
I thank you for posting this, as I was just about to do the same, since I almost finished building my roll-off roof too... wink

My observatory is located in the City, and even though my neighborhood is nice & calm, you never know...

I was looking into something like this (check the link below), which might do the trick... I just have to be able to provide the electricity to it... maybe a JumpStart battery with an Inverter... 8)

Hopefully we'll get some ideas...


Clear skies, and a secure observatory!

Great shot Tom!
What was the OTHER object you were waiting for? I would be really happy if this one was the one I was waiting for... as it came out great.

Thanks for sharing!

Maybe Ho-Hum to somebody else, but I sure do love GCs, specially when they are as pretty and well resolved as this one...

Thanks for sharing Jim! 8)
