Default Flip Top & Clamshell Observatories group



Hi All,

With permission from the Moderator here is a link for my
Flip Top & Clamshell Observatory Yahoo Group.

[Registered users can see links. ]

It is a group for unique observatories from Trash Can Observatories, Flip Top Observatories, Rubbermade, and other ideas for observatories.


So take a look,

Thanks Moderators,


Alan D. Otterson
