How to Build a roll off roof Observatory/warm room for Astrophotography Pt 9
In this installment of my observatory build I finish off building the rolling roof. Adding firings to give a slope for drainage and then boarding it. The Cladding is also finished. There is also supports added to the uprights holding the roll off rails so the open roof is fully supported.
In this video I also share an image of a first light from the obsy of the Ghost Nebula SH2-136.
Please find below links to products I have used for this project.
This was the motor I bought https://amzn.to/3IEKC8e
The V wheels https://amzn.to/3BTygp9
The plain wheels were from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154734410724
If V track is hard to source or too expensive you can use Angle Iron which works just as well

ProLogik balance meter and tuning tool
https://www.prologik-astro.com/
The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
