Introducing the Crayford Roll Off Roof Observatory 
A unique design with lots of advantages.

I researched lots of designs of roll-off roof but couldn't find anything I liked so I designed my own and called it after my Astronomical Society - Crayford. The late John Wall named the famous focuser after the society also, so this is a good tradition!


This is a roll-off roof observatory with a difference, normally you have to have space beside the observatory for the frame of your roll-off roof, but with this new design that space is taken-up by a warm room.
