This was my roll-off Observatory, nestled in our Orange grove in northeastern San Diego County.

Only 12 miles, as the crow flies, to Mount Palomar and the Hale telescope,  my site benefits

from the great seeing of Mount Palomar-reasonably dark skies, 2000 ft. altitude, clear dry 

climate and very steady skies. I lived here for nearly 17 years but now live in Marcellus Michigan
