home made observatory any advice?

well we are moving soon, and the shed i built to house my scope in isnt
coming with us
and I plan to build a proper observatory, and I was thinking of making it
just big enough for my scope
and doing everything remotely with a pc and cameraI back at the house which
i do at the moment
I know there are those fibre glass domes for about £2000
but thats out of my budget and it would take over the garden a bit too much
as well.

anyway, if anyone has come accross anything or has any ideas, or advice it
would be much appreciated to
here it



Regards

I can get 2.2metre hemispheres in fibre glass for around 600 quid, if
that is of interest.
