My Mini Observatory - Now with animation

I spent today converting my little cubby house into a slide off roof observatory.

Harry helped heaps too

As far as I know, it must be one of the smallest slide off roof Observatories in the world

The dimensions are 4' x 4' and 4' high (1200 x 1200 x 1200)

When the roof is slid back, I have a perfect dew shelter for sitting under when I'm at my control desk outside

1. Animation of the roof in open & closed position (Harry modelling)
2. Me inside (only need to get inside if I have to re-polar align)
3. Shows just how small it is
