Gina's Mini Dome Observatory for Widefield Imaging Rig
AKB replied to Gina's topic in DIY Observatories
Less difficult than other designs, perhaps? the edge to seal is simply the arc of a circle. the inner, fixed, half dome can have a ridge along this edge which acts as a gutter and a surface for the outer, moving half to seal against. Easy to say, of course! I leave it to you to engineer a good solution! -
Gina's Mini Dome Observatory for Widefield Imaging Rig
AKB replied to Gina's topic in DIY Observatories
I've always found the SkyShed POD design rather simple and appealing... -
Well,that makes me feel better, since I have, indeed, just pressed the BUY button on a Hyperstar system for my C9.25.

There's some great detail here - I've taken the liberty of doing a bit of processing to show this. Hope you don't mind. Of course, the core is inevitably blown out in a 60 second exposure, but nevertheless, nice pic!
