Small Observatory Building Available For Free In Baldwinsville, NY

Update, 22 September 2018 – The dome is no longer available.

Greetings fellow astrophiles,

Passing along a note from the CNYO Facebook Group about a dome and building available for free in Baldwinsville. The owner, Bob Hayes, remarks that:

“…the observatory is still available to anyone that wants to disassemble and remove it. I must add that it is not a kit. I designed and built it. I’ve had people ask if it would fit in a mini-van. It’s an 8′ diameter dome setting on 5′ tall walls.”
