G'day ric
I toyed with putting in a sheet of steel grating that could be removable, perhaps just sitting on some brackets so I could stand just inside, but I have found with a few inches left I can reach the computer to set it all up without going inside the obs, it's only a foot or so high if I have to go to get something I can do without much fuss, ..... But it would be more finished with some of those gratings, I think the ones I looked at where a couple hundred each so haven't happened yet.
As for the imaging, once phd calibration is done and object located, I generally just set and forget, go back into the house and I can monitor the whole computer thing through VNC viewer, which allows me to control the obs computer from the house, however once the weather warms up I don't mind spending a while just looking through some binos or just soaking up the atmosphere of an open sky.
Cheers mate
