FOR SALE: 10' Observatory - DEAL PENDING

At our June 2nd. meeting, the RASC Victoria Centre Council decided that it was time to part with the G. Ball Observatory building.

It is hoped that a member or local group can make full use of this amazingly well constructed rotating structure. Mr. George Ball built it back in the mid-sixties using the best of materials and design, to this day the dome is very sound and solid with many good years of usage remaining. The exterior walls and dome will required some maintenance and care involving sanding and painting. The interior would only require a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint at the owners choice.

The dome is now stored in Gordon Head, Victoria, BC awaiting a new owner. Due to it's size and weight a commercial crane and trailer assembly will be required to lift and deliver it to a new site at the new owners expense.

The Society is offering this astronomical observatory at NO COST to a good home with the hopes that it will again serve it's intended purpose.

The building will require a proper concrete foundation and slab. Crane costs and construction work are estimated to be in the $2,500 to $3,000 range.

Serious inquiries are welcomed.
