Split roof roll off

Here's a picture of my newly completed 10'x10' observatory which houses a 12" LX200...mounted on the giant field tripod with the superwedge, it's too tall for comfortable viewing, so I'm awaiting arrival of a permanent 30" pier and will have to pull up a few of the floor pavers to pour a footing for pier installation...the observatory has dramatically increased viewing time as I can be up and running in a matter of minutes...each half of the roof rolls off 2 feet beyond the building but I think I'm going to have to take a few more trees down to take advantage of this option...sorry about the picture size...I just bought the Nikon 4300 on Sat. and I have to learn how to manipulate /edit the photos..thanks...John
