Kevin Boucher's Backyard Observatory (Observatory Tours #5)

My friend Kevin Boucher is a wealth of knowledge on astrophotography and was kind enough to let me tour his backyard observatory in Central Massachusetts. This is the fifth part of a series where I interview people who have designed their own observatories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrzbdmripj1dzgPci-ibPcWXo1-a1bYMG

Kevin's observatory is based on the Skyshed plans you can buy here: https://skyshed.com/ If you are planning to build a shed-style observatory, I think these plans are well worth getting. Even if you don't follow them exactly, there are lots of great construction photos and tips you will find useful.
