The solution is to mount the scope in an observatory.
Erik, when I was young, I had the wild dream of buying a large UPS-type van and converting it into a "mobile observatory", with a roll-back roof and maybe a 14" Celestron. It was to have a pier that lowered through a trap door in the floor and rest on the ground, isolated from movements of the van and it's occupants. Then two things happened. First, John Dobson started his paradigm shift in large-aperture thinking, and then life and financial reality smacked me in the butt HARD, lol!
