Installation of Observatory for Yonsei University at Siding Springs
In 2003 was contracted by Dr Andre Phillips from the University of New South Wales to design & build a shuttered lens cover for the UNSW Automated Patrol telescope located at Siding Springs in NSW.
This project at a cost of AUD 17000.00 was finished & commissioned in just 3 months.
A request was then made from Yonsei University from South Korea to build a complete observatory to be located at the same site in NSW. This project was conceptualized & built in 5 months in Wollongong from a refrigerated 40ft shipping container & trucked to site & installed on 4 concrete plinths.
The Koreans have copied the design in three further locations.
