The foundation and two 18" 4 foot tall piers for the "Nova Quest Observatory" are now poured. The photos displayed here show the foundation and two piers after the forms were removed.

The work you see here is being done by "Burk Stewart's Construction." PO Box 391426, Anza Ca. 92539. Phone number (909) 763-0599. I can recommend him highly for doing very good work and at a honest price.

This photo is looking at what will be the side view of the observatory. On the right is where the control room will be located. The Control room will be an 8 feet - 4 inch x 14 feet wide, enclosed room with insulation and a sleeping area. The computers needed to run the observatory and for imaging will be located on desks which will be mounted on the wall in the center of the building. A door will also be in the center wall for access to the scope area on the left where the two 18" x 4 foot high piers are located. The base of each pier is a concrete slab measuring 24 inches cubed with a taper widening at the base.

This photo is looking toward the northwest, in the direction of "Jupiter Ridge".
