They're giving you the run around Nathan.
An 'OBS' is an Observatory, a permanent setup in the backyard or even remotely. Mine is a basic tin shed with sliding roof but others can be quite palatial by comparison.
The big advantage is you can leave your gear setup ready to go minimising setup, alignment times and just generally allowing you to get far more use of your expensive investment. I can be imaging within 20 minutes or can just shut down when the clouds appear. Also minimises damage through repeated setups and lugging heavy gear about. If you get serious long term it is definitely the way to go. I use my setup at least 10 x more than I would if I had to set it up every time.
