What scopes will be installed? Are you going to use Flap Caps on the scopes?

i will be installing a full weather station with anemometer as well, i have it at my current obs site. that will be posted on a public web site. the observatory walls will block out most of the wind on the scope itself, we will just have to see how the seeing is affected. i am not sure why NB would be worse in windy conditions though ...
