Hi Richard,

Very cool setup, I like the idea and something I could see many adapting to suit their needs.

I don't mean to be a downer, but I see a couple of issues, both relating to dew....

1) with the roof "open" the bottom, effectively looks up at the sky and being metal, will probably dew up a treat in the cold night air. What happens when you go to close it after imaging? All that lovely wet metal will rain down on your scope and leads me to point #2.
2) computers in the obs will be subjected to the dust and dew and other gremlins which LOVE warm places to nest, such as cockroaches etc. Plus, when the lid closes covered with dew, guess where it will end up dripping?

Do you have any plans to tackle these?

Chris
