Hello & Thanks for checking out the "AstroShanty" the world's first truly affordable backyard observatory! The AstroShanty was invented to battle neighborhood light pollution and create an observatory structure that's durable, spacious, easy to set-up and take down and most of all inexpensive. The AstroShanty! "Astro" cause' that's what you do in it and "Shanty" cause' that's what it is designed after! The AstroShanty combines two methods of light blocking technology...the panel & the tent. When popped up it creates an observatory space with almost 50 sq. ft. of floor space and a domed ceiling that measures nearly 12' at its apex! It is spacious enough for a couple of observers, seating, coolers, and etc. but can be cozy warm on those cold but crystal clear nights. Set-up is easily accomplished by one person and takes around 10-15 minutes. Once set-up the AstroShanty can be rotated by simply lifting and sliding. The aperture is designed to accommodate most scopes from horizon to zenith. We will be ready to take orders soon!

Stephen C. Foster State Park...our backyard!
This remote park is a primary entrance to the legendary Okefenokee Swamp -- one of Georgia's seven natural wonders. Spanish moss-laced trees reflect off the black swamp waters, while cypress knees rise upward from the glass-like surface. Here, paddlers and photographers will enjoy breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife. Alligators, turtles, raccoons, black bears, deer, ibis, erons, wood storks, red-cockaded woodpeckers and numerous other creatures make their homes in the 402,000-acre refuge. Stargazers will appreciate the particularly dark sky. Astronomy programs with an 18" telescope are sometimes offered.
