This is just a page to show images of the small, but happy home of NSN. While not much in size it does the job just fine. It is a 10 x 10 building with a POD dome on top and inside there is a 12" round cement pier on which the CGE PRO mount sits. With some help from my wife I was able to build this over a few months during the summer of 2008. Most the time the work was done at night to escape the heat of the day and on weekends a few hours at a time. There will be an addition made soon for a warm/cool room. Wish I had thought of the room when I started the build.

Of course no image of the N S N Observatory would be complete without showing the guardians of N S N. CHANCE and VENUS.
