I seems to me that the slant roof may be pretty much in the way 
toward the north. Also, the solution is not very flexible regarding 
wind shield from different directions. Maybe, for remotely control, 
but for a manned observatory I cannot see it offers much more than a 
roll-off-roof does. 

Best regards,

Niels
