Ad Astra Observatory at Hilltop finally got an official sign. I’d been using one I’d had lying around; it was a test cut on a piece of scrap wood. So, once I got the CNC up and running again, I decided to do something about it.

Dome sweet dome

As an aside, my recent interest in getting the CNC going was to cut some rings for Trixie — I am going to move to a full UTA cage, and I didn’t relish the idea of hand-cutting more Reuleaux Triangles. So, now that I’ve proved out the tool, I’m ready to start designing some telescope parts! Woot!

For now, Hilltop O just gets to look a little more awesome.
