C'mon guys, lets not be too harsh.....
For those of us with a single rig that's relatively portable and a half decent spot to set up in the back yard it is much less of a priority. In fact you could argue you might be better off with 2 portable rigs to run similtaneously at a dark sky site rather than investing in an observatory limited by city pollution (obviously applies only to those of us residing in the 'burbs....)
I've been particularly interested in this thread though because I'm starting to leave the scope up a few nights in a row if imaging a certain object and there's good reason to believe the weather will behave. I can't really find the space (or money) for a permanent setup but would like a bit more protection than the current BBQ cover, tarp and 2 bungie straps....
