Anakie Observatory: Turning an Empty Dome Into a Stargazing Beast

We rolled into Anakie with one mission: bring an empty dome to life.

In one chaotic day, we installed the telescope, tested it, made sure the dome’s roof actually opens (crucial), and even dug a hole to relocate the cloud sensor like true astro gremlins.

Now this beast is ready to stare deep into space and silently judge humanity. 🔭🕳️🌌

We Installed a GIANT Space Dome on a Mountain!

We drove from Melbourne to Toowoomba… via Coonabarabran (because apparently we can’t help turning a dome install into a full-blown road trip).

Stopped in Coonabarabran for a site visit on a future project — then headed to Mt Kent Observatory to install a brand new 4m Scopedome.

There were telescopes, late nights, too many servo pies, and one absolutely massive dome. Just another casual week in astro-land. 🔭🛻🌌
