I am currently in the starting stage of a non permanent system myself. I am though starting with the electronics first.
I purchased an enclosed lectern from an auction and I am converting it to house all electronics need to run a observatory. So far only the batteries and power has been installed.
After the electronics is complete, I am going to work on a pier base making a slab approx 1m x 1m x 0.1m -0+.1m. I know it is not perfect like most observatories out there but living in a rental place it is not possible to create a permanent fixture especially when owners seem to love selling their places.
After the pier is built enough to hold the scope onto, I will build a sealed mini shed around it and work out a way to push the shed off completely or just the roof.
All in the dream line. The lectern though I am also modifying to fit in my car as well, but that is another design change.
