5 Abstract The observatory building project is a project associated to a current project of Faculty of Engineering, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi to build a large Newtonian Telescope, 600 mm. (24 in), the ROTAR 1 Telescope. The ROTAR 1 Telescope sit on an automatically target backing German Equatorial mount, The project was researched, designed and built by lecturers and students of the University, is intended to enhance education in visual astronomy as well as the study of our Solar system both for in-house usages and external public services. Other objective of this project is also to substitute import of currently unavailable technology in Thailand. The project was started by collecting many in formations form astronomy books, A team of engineer was sent to observe dome construction at Trebur Obsenratory. Germany, Many interviews were made with experts in astronomy and engineering fields. The result is a 7 m. Observatory with overlapped half-shell design that house the ROTAR 1 from exposure of sunlight and rain. The dome is fully insulated. The are 2 swing-doors, 2.00 m. width by 2.40 mo height and can be opened from lo to almost 180
