Observatory Improvement - Motorized Roof Ready for Action!

[Gary.Bennett]

No more hand-cranking on the observatory!

Check out the Members Section under the topic heading "The Centre and Facilities". The subject is "Motorized Roof Roll-Off, MacGyver Style".

There is a brief explanation as well as a link to a YouTube video demonstrating the process.

A big thank you to David Surette for his ingenious solution! Rather clever for a cost of less than $ 250.00!

No more excuses folks. Get out there and do some stargazing!

Great work, David. I was hoping to use your new cranking device tonight. I had a group of 12 Cubs there along with their parents. Wish it had been clear.
