I really like this. I wouldn't be worried about some one stealing the telescope, but rather the observatory.

This is an awesome idea! Can't wait to see the final pictures and it in full use!
Are you planning on some sort of bottom to close the gap where the wheels are? And do you intend on locking the hut somehow to the deck? Just curious...

Ok, here is the real meaning of the crescent moon symbol
on Outhouses
In Colonial days the half-moon symbolized the ladies room,
Also a Star or Sunburst pattern indicated Male use.

No need to lock the hut to the deck. Those cresent wooden sections you see leaning up against the hut go in. One for the bottom and one at the top , near the pier plate. Once the door is closed, its a tight fit.

Great name! 
Thanks for sharing this project with us, it's really one of the best movable observatories we've seen here!
