Looks Aidan, always very exciting to see real progress and soon you will be going through bug testing of your system.
some issues perhaps? Coming from a back ground of having a couple of remote observatories this seems prudent to ask.
The roof appears to be running on tracks but does not appear to have any hold down keepers. My roof wheels runs in a purlin which is stood up and acts like a hold down system. For remote work you will need to know the roof is always held down, especially during storms. Even with the system I have in place I have once found my roof moved 300mm off the rack during a storm with a wind gust of 120kph. The roof is quite heavy but still managed to move.
I noted that on your outside sheeting prior to painting you have dampness rising. This moisture can make its way inside the observatory in the long run and into the timber framing. Hopefully you have this problem in hand.
