CEO Construction Updates

[Chris Johnson]

This weekend is progressing nicely on construction. Most of the bulding is up, we have to finish the roof. The rail carriage is in place and power is being installed as I type this.

The pier is completed and the concrete is fully dried. Alignment was maintained! True north for the site is 11 degrees W of Magnetic North.

Very nice clear photos of the progress of the construction.
You ought to save those photos as a historical record of the
construction of CEO. Someday, like Lowell or Kitt Peak, your
Observatory may become famous enough to give tours and those
photos would make a great addition to the tour. :)
