    for a somewhat classy name: “The Celestiary”
    for a more snarky name: “Unicorn Tracking Station”

    I like having ‘Oculus’ added to my vocabulary.

    Or the French name, oeil de boeuf, or “bull’s-eye”

    Change the angle on the spyglass and call it Le Voyeur

    ^ LOL! It was the first thing I put in the house and we figure the “neighbors” were thrilled with the creepy new neighbors so we re-aimed it :)

    The Meade (telescopes ®) Hall. But if the window is operable and a little sparrow flies in don’t be surprised if a little sharp shinned hawk named Beowulf snatches it as it exits through the other side of occulus.

    Hey, I thought I slept through that section of high school English.

    Astrum. Leave it to me to trust Google.

    Sideria works, too, though, it means “luminous,” and the oculus lets in a lot of light… that’s my excuse.

    Based on the lop-sided chairs and very low table, I have to go with:
    “The Observatory for Hunchback and Knuckle-dragging KisP Astronomers.” (…informally known, for brevity, The Girl`s Parlor “Kisp Klatch”.

    You should find or make a Stargate frame for the window.

    The Pipe Dream—well maybe not———- or no words just a big exhaling *sigh*— it needs a stool–(or a pail not to stand on)–just to sit on while viewing the neighbors with the telescope. Heaven forbid anyone should put their ass on one of those chairs. Also a little spider for your company.

    In industrial construction, huge flanges are removed from processing units to allow access for workers. These flanges are usually round and about the size of your window.

    A person is assigned the task of monitoring the activities of the workers that use the access port. This person has special training and basically sits all day to determine if there is a problem and act if one arises. This person is called the “hole watch”. I think it’s a good name for your observation portal to the universe.

    An “Occulus” in in the roof, like in the Pantheon in Rome. You’ve got what we like to call “a round window”…

    I’d name it “Arnie”.

  38. DougM (jackassophobe)

    ^ An “oculus” can also be a “circular window.”
    (Me ol’ Dad was an architect and made sure we kids knew this kind’a crap.)
    A “round window” is found in the inner ear.
    (Had to look that up.)

    This is what’s known as two guys measurin’ the length thickness of their dic-tionaries.
    (What? Yeah, an’ it’s deep, too.)
