The Home size observatory is ideal for any individual observer or for a small club. It adequately holds two to three people with a side or centrally mounted telescope.
The addition of one or more wall storage locker panels will add to the available space.

5.0 metr College Model Observatory
In addition to our 2.3 metre Home Model, 3.5m School Model and 6.7m University Models, demand from customers has meant we have increased the size of the Sirius family to include the 5 metre College Model.
This latest design gives plenty of room, yet is still small enough that it can be put together without a specialist supervisor. An easy to follow instruction manual is sent with every observatory sold.
