Observatory — Control Room
Randal Healey · Utahopia Observatory
My Utahopia Observatory, Kaysville, Utah
The observatory was self designed and built. I really wanted a design that allowed for a climate controlled computer control room to be located under the roll of roof. It just made sense to me to take advantage of this, normally unused, space in most ROR observatory designs.It is fully remote automated (very nice given the amount of time I have to spend in hotel rooms traveling for my career). It houses a 9.25 inch GEM SCT, 8 inch Alt/Az SCT, 102mm ES Apochromatic Triplet refractor telescopes, and a CGX mount. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about it are interested in visiting the observatory. Thanks
