Please do drop in mate.
I agree with Barry re room around the scope. I lost 3 subs last weekend by bumping the counterweights as Rho Opiuchus rose near the meridian. (I was using a shutter release cable on the DSLR - I had left the DS-USB cable at home) - you think a fool would learn by the second bump
. That is in a 3x3 area.
We have 6 completed observatories out there now and another 4 under construction and everyone has their own ideas - I dont know who is right but it might be a source of ideas if you are interested - on your way to Warwick one weekend. Temporary accommodation is available - just a bed in a van but it meets the quarter star requirements of the Goodyear travel guide.
