Hi Markus,
What a fine looking setup. I really like the swimming pool roll off. That is a great innovation for light weight roofs.

Any fear of roof failure in heavy weather - snow, ice, strong winds?

Markus, Nice setup! Very comfortable size, maybe space for a cot on the side to take naps between long CCD images... Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
Steve
