Are you anything to do with the collection of observatories on top of a volcano near you?

An interesting post iPeace.
My take on things is that the right way to do things is the way that gives YOU the most satisfaction and keeps you doing it.
I'm new to this game and inverted views is all I know when using a scope. I have previous experience of optics from my law enforcement and military past so know and use correct image equipment frequently.
Anyhow- keep on keeping on.

Here is something I threw together earlier from a retired DeWalt drill case and some spare foam left lying around at work. Just the kit that came with the scope at the moment but room to expand. The little red disc is a home made filter for a mini maglight for illumination when observing. Cut from the lid of a cheese football tub.

Could you go for a shed roof pattern with a fold down 'flap' to the high side to open up the horizon? This would reduce the bracing needed for the pitched roof?
