Steve,

No - my thoughts on my next scope do not include an observatory.  We live in an adult mobile home development so usually my viewing has to be done outside of the park.  So my first scope has to be portable.  Still considering a 12 " Truss Dobsonian since I love the light gathering power and the price.  May have to wait on an imaging scope later - I know that means more money.  Approaching retirement in the next five years so looking at just a one time scope purchase.  I see alot of dobs in your header.
