Malcolm - I had a fully enclosed Obs with split rolling roof way out wst, other side of Ranges, was bit of inconvenience carting gear, travel & to have 3 or more nights clear at new moon to make worth the while, were rather rare, so very little usage on top !
This home roll away caper is very practical, more so than think, not just the permanent set-up and all, but to have head clearance and walking space around the Rig is just a huge bonus, not just for me but also visitors for some visual gazing, socializing outdoors under the stars ect, relaxing and thought provoking discussions over some munchies, coffee or brew, joining in or just watching whats going on easily
Also serves me great as Im not one for dedicated imaging, hence another reason calling it The Caboose, as need lots of 'training'
Having the Rig in its cover, with shelving for bits and small gear, and the seperate control room shed there's plenty of room for further gear, so everything is right there handy as need - all the time
I reckon its so much more versatile in my situation and recommend this design on tracks to those who may think 'like yourself' a full obs is just a little too much & personally think it would be quite easy to just pick up with another bloke or two & throw it on a trailer and re-locate
All the best if you decide to go this way, if you need any further insight if you decide, don't hesitate for some ideas and/or considerations
