I had thought of building the observatory on wheels but then I'd need power to propel it. Next thought was on a very tall pole to be above the trees that block my view, but I'm too old to climb the ladder so I'd need an escalator. It all became far too difficult and I settled on the submitted design and I can assure you Fred at 83 years I can open and close the roof sections with ease.
