Blown Away 💨 | 10 Observatories in 10 Weeks – Week 8
Week 8 came in swinging, the wind tried to take everything with it. Somehow, we still got the last 2 roofs on & wrapped up the fiddly bits. Chaos, comedy, & construction, all in one windy finale.

Aurora Australis, at this time of year at this time of day, in this part of the country localized entirely within your dead tree.... Yes... May I see it? No...

Observatory Overdrive 🚀 | Week 7
Two more roll-off roof observatories, drills, ladders, late nights, and two perfect moonless skies — then a roaring windstorm. The field is finally taking shape: stars above, chaos below.

The Great T-Nut Shortage 🪛 | Week 6
Week 6 at Starview Farm, 4 new base frames, 4 new roofs, and one massive problem: we ran out of T-Nuts.
Three clear, moonless nights, plenty of cladding, and a lot of creative problem-solving later, we somehow kept the chaos under control.

Speed Build Mode | Week 5
Between working on other observatories, we set a challenge, build one complete roll-off roof observatory in a single day. Sunrise to sunset, full chaos, zero break & somehow, it worked.

No crew, just me, a rooftop tent on the trailer and another roll-off roof observatory to build. The pub kept me fed, the headlamp kept me going — and one perfect night of clear skies made it worth it.

Rain Delay? Nope 🌧️ | Week 3
Sideways rain, hail & gale-force winds tried to wipe out the 10 Observatories in 10 Weeks challenge, so I built 3, 4 and 5 anyway. Roll-off roofs fighting for survival, hail drumming on steel, mud stealing boots & no chance of better weather.

Had an incredible time hosting Sea Lake Astro Fest! Talks, laughs, late-night chats & astro imaging at the motel. Loved sharing the skies at Lake Tyrell with the Seestar. Trivia was tough, Q&A deep, and the company even better. Next year’s the 5th anniversary—can’t wait!
