Hi Ben,

Seems like a worthy pursuit. If it is going to be a remote observatory, don't forget cabling to the house, be it underground/conduit or suspended in costings. If not then you possibly need desk space for PC and other gear and if 3x3m is the maximum that may be a challenge for that as well as good movement and access for a larger scope. If it's larger than that, then allow me to be mundane and suggest bed space for those LONG imaging sessions or when you need some you-time. Who knows?

Is it going to be a slide to the side roof? If so, that could also be automated for kicks with a simple sliding gate motor and gear rack.

Food for thought

Best
JA
