Stop lugging your telescope outside every night! In this episode of the Cosmos Safari Podcast, Dave Farina sits down with Mark Zook, CEO of Stoltzfus Structures, to discuss the Stargazer astronomical observatory. Whether you are a beginner looking for your first permanent setup or an advanced astrophotographer needing a dual-pier configuration, we cover everything you need to know about pre-fabricated roll-off roof sheds.

We dive deep into the technical side of backyard observatories, including concrete pier installation, and the new Wi-Fi-controlled roof automation that allows for remote imaging. Plus, get an exclusive preview of the Stargazer’s debut on the trade floor at NEAF 2026!
