Andrew, I currently setup all my imaging equipment on the deck and stand near the deck or I sit on the steps. There are several advantages to this, First I am partly undercover from the pergola above my head, so I don't get cold and dew on me. The other is that I am totally away from the scope, so no heat blooms from me or any of my equipment can disrupt the image. Also in the months to come I plan on extending the height of both fences so that I can put a roll off roof onto the pergola. This is the final solution to the construction of the observatory.
In addition to the above I do like to stand when I am imaging, I feel more energetic about what I am doing.
Anyway, that is something to consider for the future, so I will keep it in mind.
Thanks for the comments.
