A skillion roof can provide an adequate peak for parking pointed at the South Celestial Pole (which is the way mine works). This makes it easy to take the scope off the mount, if switching scopes and putting on cameras, etc; is also assists in setting up the balance as you can easily cant the scope from East to West with the roof closed. The only issue with the Skillion roof is that the peak has to be high enough to clear the end of your scope, and you may have to release the clutch and swing it to the east or west momentarily when sliding the roof back (as the blunt face of the skillion (the gable base) will have to clear the scope as it moves to the rear - not an issue for me.
