ROR shed Mid Blue Mountains

Ive been thinking of making one of my garden sheds into a ROR observatory.
The shed is 4.55m by 2.25m inside. Its on a nice level slab which is 80mm bigger all round than the shed footprint. I m thinking the roof could roll back lengthwise about 2.7m. This will give plenty of sky. And i will have a dew free area for the electronics.

I hope the roof can be simply canter levered as it overhangs another shed. I dont want to brace onto the second shed if possible.

Progress is slow, first removing all the contents and storing them. Next waterproofing the wall channels at slab level. Then painting the floor.

Its actually an enjoyable exercise so far. Anyway heres a few pictures if anyone's interested.
