10.Un matin, un visiteur étrange... Après recherche, semble que ce papillon est assez commun au NB & NE. Il s'appelle: Papillon- Lune! Serait-il la mascotte de mon observatoire?

10.One morning this visitor came by. Found out later it's rather common in NB & NS; it's the: Luna Moth!

Diamètre: 10 pieds          Base diameter: 10'

20 The dome base is a copy of the top of the wall. We raised it and flipped it over and let it rest on the golf balls. So sad I had to lend a hand because I would have loved a picture while it was straight up... Looked like the "Stargate!"!!

21 At 14 ft above ground, the tube vibrated too easily. A friend, Jacques suggested we fix 5-16ft planks inside the tube. Great!!!

33. Relier la pente du toit à la passerelle de l'observatoire a été  le problème majeur! Il y avait toujours des coulis lors de pluie! On a dû oter les tuiles qu'on pouvait et placer y une membrane... et recouvrir avec les tuiles à toit.

33. Joining the roof slope to the "walk" around the observatory was very aggrevating! The rain would leak through somehow. We then removed the roof tiles we could & place a roof membrane & complete with new roof tiles.
