Avalon has these low height observatories since many years. Before my wife agreed on a proper observatory building in the garden, I tried to sell her this idea. There are also special low height piers available for this kind of observatory: https://www.avalon-instruments.com/p...l-price-detail

The problem is that they are all prohibitively expensive unless you have deep pockets that is why so many amateurs go the DIY

I'm guessing that as I have a standard stepladder in my observatory it doesn't count as "low height"?
