What you should avoid is that try and get a strong mount do not change the contour of the roof it s best suited the way it is. Inflexion roof mounted fold down telescoping mast was designed to meet the elevation requirements of smaller payloads such as cameras positioners antennas and advanced broadcast devices. Mounted in the copper clad dome on the east end of the building is the zeiss telescope array. The primary thing to remember here is that when you set out to make a roof mount for that telescope at the home itself is that the main motive is to make a strong mount.

Pick the lumber shape accordingly. When the night sky is clear the zeiss telescope is open from the roof and serves up to 600 visitors per night. The observatory is more or less exactly the right size for the telescope to sit in its horizontal stored position diagonally with the roof closed. This telescope is free to the public every night the the observatory is open and the sky is clear.
