Below are some images of the progress of building the observatory! It has been a long process, almost a year long. But more than worth it! After looking and reading for more than a year at domes, I selected the Home/Pro Dome from Technical Innovations. After installing and using the dome, I know I made the right choice.

	Start of construction. We added a 14 x 24 room off the back side of the home. It was built on a concrete slab.

	After the siding was added, this flat area is were the 6' Home/Pro Dome will be mounted.
	These are the steps leading up to the dome. This was fun trying to make these work, but we got it.
	The inside of the dome room, before the dome was mounted. All the plywood area will be cut out before we mount the dome.
	6' Home/Pro Dome construction started. I read the manual first before I started, but I don't think I needed it. It went together so well and there was no problem.
	Here is the base ring completed and ready for step two.
	The shutters worked very well and were easy to put together. I didn't understand how they worked until I saw them. A great design.
	Just looking it over and double checking!
	Dome completed, now it's time to take it apart so it can be re-assembled on the roof top!
