Hi Martin. Years ago I was reading an American Astro mag and saw a construction of limited space scope housing. Basically, the scope sits on a level platform. The scope itself in housed in a cupboard. The cupboard is made from two exact halves hinged together on one side so it opens up like a large book. Each half sits on 4 castors. The idea is to unlock the cupboard from the platform. Open the cupboard and roll it away from the scope. Some cupboards have a little storage for a fold-up chair, etc. So, if your scope and mount take up say, a square metre of space. You could make a cupboard to suit and have the freedom to move it around the platform out of the way. I hope this helps.
Cheers!
