Inside Grande Pines Observatory: Top-of-the-line amateur astronomy

A look inside Grande Pines Observatory! This observatory has featured in multiple timelapses, appearing in my channel trailer, the Barn Door tracker video, and the Polaris Timelapse video, but I've never actually done a video about the observatory and all of the awesome equipment inside, so here it is! Grande Pines Observatory is operated by my dad (the astronomer). He is also the presenter in this video. I got to have fun shooting somebody else's project this time! Hope you enjoy!

The gallery of images at the end of the video were taken in this observatory, some with the old 10" f/4.0 Newtonian telescope that the telescope featured here replaced.
