While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I'd appreciate getting opinions about this idea. I'm thinking of buying a
Royal brand vinyl storage building (10x8) for my 10"LX200 and astropier. The
vinyl roof panels (9 on each side) slide into the central ridge beam, and
then a roof cap is screwed in on each side. I was thinking of joining the
roof panels so there's only 2 wide ones on each side, and leaving the roof
caps off so the roof panels can be slid on and off before each observing/CCD
session. These vinyl panels are relatively light, even when several are
together. This only leaves the central ridge beam for a small zenith
obstruction. Does this seem like a good idea to pursue? Thanks.
