Darkfire Observatory

Home  Gallery  Observatory


(I recently moved to New Mexico as the resident astronomer for the new Sacramento Mountains Astronomy Park. The Darkfire II observatory

has been recently completed and I hope to update this page soon with appropriate images. In the meanwhile, the original Darkfire page is still here.)




Darkfire Observatory was "completed" in April 2005 and you can view the construction blog starting with page 1. Each page represents one week in the construction. You may recognize that the plan is loosely based on Bill Arnett's teahouse observatory and was meant to meld into the Japanese garden.

 

I want to thank in particular Austin, Jim, Jeff, and my wife Margaret for supporting my dream and making this observatory possible.
