Gibraltar Amateur Astronomers Society

The Gibraltar Amateur Astronomers Society was created in 2013.

​It was founded with the sole purpose to learn and sharing knowledge. We are a
 group of people of all ages who are interested in the science of astronomy. While many are accomplished observers and astrophotographers, others are new to the hobby. GAAS tries to respond to all levels of interest. Various members own large telescopes with difference equipment attached to them. On the other hand, some members don't own any telescope at all, but simply enjoy observing the night sky with their unaided eyes. GAAS meets each month. The meetings are free and are open to the public
.

The society is very active with observations and astrophotography in Gibraltar and nearby Spain.

A society for everyone

Observatories/ Sheds are highly individualistic; they reflect the interests, equipment, and personalities of their owners. Unfortunately, this also means that one individual's dream observatory might be a white elephant for someone else. As a result, the more specific observatory plans become, the less useful they are.

To store my telescope I used  PVC/Aluminium walls with an insulation foam between the internal and outside walls. to move the shed I connected four wheels with brakes, the front of the shed has a rolling shatter that lifts with a cable, this way its easy to just move back the shed from the semi-fixed mount/telescope.
Having the shed will safely guard my equipment from the elements better than the previous telescope covered that I had
