Preparation of the place in my garden were the dome observatory should be installed.

A concrete slab with a separate foundation (XSP plates) for the mount to decrease possible vibrations to the mount.

Concrete slap complete and ready for receiving the dome observatory. Dome observatory is a 2.2M dome in diameter and 1.2m heigth of the walls

Delivering  completely assembled and tested, delivering was very early in the morning. They arrived before 7 o’clock.

Lifting with the crane and the observatory must be placed behind my garage which is about 14 meters from the center of the crane.

The observatory was delivered complete assembled an tested. I don’t have acces to my garden, so a crane was necessarry. I could combine the lifting of the observatory with renovationworks on my home. Here the lift-off!

The observatory was builded by Uniwersal and is complete computer controlled and can work in robotic mode. I use this observatory in remote control.

On the wooden plates I, we could by hand and a transpallet bring the observatory to his place in the garden, finally ! After about 1 hour all was fixed and tested.

Unfortunately the dome isn’t following the telescope accurate. On the east side of the meredian was this acceptable, but on the west-side, the telescope was pointing to the inside of the dome and not the slit opening.

It was not easy to lift-off the observatory because the weight and the distance from the center of the crane, but after some trying , the dome could be lifted

Drop down just behind my home, the crane couldn’t go further away due the combination distance/weight of the observatory.

So after 3 months of trying and several new softwareversions, I decided to migrate my steering to LesveDomeNet solution. See my other page for details

The BRIXIIS-II Observatory was builded in november 2017 and houses a 0.28-m diameter cassegrain telescope  on a 10Micron GM2000 Qci equatorial mount.
