Jay, I'm sure Patrick was suggesting only a temporary structure to assure the telescope's security while doing a short stint at SPOC, nothing permanent. Mike has been single-minded in his goal of taking the scope on the road, until he is too old to do it anymore, then it will reside at his property in Delta- unless he trains an apprentice (the line forms behind me). Sans a building, you'd need a ten-foot-high chain link fence with razor wire running along the top. I would never leave that thing there unattended, for any length of time at all.

No, not for storing it at SPOC, the LP is too much and SPOC isn't a true dark site. Good to have there for a few star parties but this thing needs to be at dark sites to really show its stuff off in the best possible dark.
