Hi, Paul
?
I am contacting on behalf of the Huachuca Astronomy Club
https://www.hacastronomy.org/
https://www.facebook.com/HuachucaAstronomyClub
and the newly formed HAASP Observatory planning committee
for a roll-off roof observatory at the Kartchner Caverns State Park
https://azstateparks.com/kartchner? ?in southeastern Arizona.
?
The state park there has been given permission by the state
to pursue ideas, planning, financing and construction of the obs there.
?
I lived in La Pine before moving to Sierra Vista, AZ two years ago
and am somewhat familiar with the Sunriver Nature Center
and since the committee is looking for ideas specifically a roll off roof obs
I thought perhaps you could give us some tips/measurements/etc
that might help us get our plans moving.
?
At present we have a donated 14" SCT and other dobs, etc
that we would like to house there.
?
If there are any basic floor plans that you think might be of some value to our planning it would be great if you could pass them on to us
along with any ideas regarding the roll off roof portion of the obs there.
?
It is hoped that we will be able to add a dome next to the roll off roof portion, too.
?
Thanks for considering,
Clear skies!
?
