Thats awesome, and about perfect for what I can have in my yard... I've got his bookmarked for winter... Summer in Brisbane, it rains too much to get a half reasonable footing in the ground for a pier, so I'll wait until winter, then try to replicate this reasonably well.. For me, even if the scope comes inside at the end of the night, but the mount stays polar aligned outside, its a win! With my scope being a 1.15m long APO refractor, I think I'll have to settle for that, or expand the dimensions of your mini-observatory a little bit...
