Construction & Installation of 6.7m Observatory
The modular construction of the 'Sirius' Observatory is designed so that both the Home & School model can be assembled by unskilled persons. The University model will require factory assitance. Assembly instructions are provided for the construction of the dome walls, doors and shutters. The mechanical drive mechanisms are also modular and can be easily assembled using the instructions provided. Crane assistance is only required for the installation of the dome onto the walls of the complete 'University' and 'School' size models.
