Observatory Structure
Telescope pier
The PW1000 will be fastened to a custom plate that is attached to the pier with bolts. The pier before new concrete work was done is shown in these photos.
Outside structure
In August 2023, exterior work was done on the base, steps, and underside of the dome. Stucco was repaired and patched, foundations were painted, and a paint was applied called Beakguard which protects against birds who remove and use the stucco as nesting material.
