I like the idea of the Tardis roll away cover , it brings to mind a similar idea that Patrick Moore used for his alt/az 12" reflector back in the 1960 's in his garden in east grinstead . It consisted of two Halves of a shed like cover mounted on rails that slid away on either side of the scope . The shed was lower enough to not obstruct the view but still accommodate the telescope. You can see the design in some of his older books , maybe even on the net I haven't looked.
