I think you're absolutely right with the ventilation. This is something I'm also considering in my build.

Ì know the feeling. The last week I have doing small hings on the obsy on and off during the evenings dry spells. But I could also do with some dry days, especially since I need do to some painting of my metal bits and after that test fitting the mount and scope to see how much clearance I have left in the back wall, so I can design and construct this. The balcony roofing is soaking wet each day I have been working up there, so I have to mind my steps in order to avoid wet feet. I will put in a water barrier in the floor to prevent moisture from the balcony roofing to come up into the observatory structure.

God luck with your build.

Good progress Gonzo. Will keep following this thread with interest.

Thanks Tony

Skoda octavia disk seems to fit my NEQ6, and works a charm!

 Can you provide the details or a link on which type of Octavia barke disk you used. I'm looking for an NEQ6 adapter in The Netherlands and this looks really good.

Thanks in advance.
