One thing I would change for Mk-II is to have the roof roll towards the computer/desk/etc end, that way you can partially roll off and dew-shield yourself!

If I had more space I would have made it larger, doubt it would inflate costs much though. But even at 2.1x2.4m it is roomy enough for 2, just watch out for the counterweight shaft (ouch).
These are the valuabel little gems that often get missed, thanks Lee. I know what you mean about size though. I was planning about 4 x 3 and my Sya asked me if that was going to be big enough.

Power is not a problem as the observatory will only be about 20 - 30 meters from the house and I plan for a wireless link to the observatory with the 9x6 shed on the block converted to a large office/games room
