If a telescope is not required to be portable then
a fixed installation offers a lot of advantages. Of course a scope
left outside is going to need some protection against the weather.
The 3 common options are roll off roof, roll off shed, and a dome.
The disadvantages with a dome can be the relatively
high walls require that the scope can still see over them, and of
course it looks like a dome!
Advantages. When in use it protects the scope and
observer from the wind. Its good at blocking local light pollution
(glare). Looks like a dome!
Diy domes are not particularly difficult or costly
to make. The next pages describe the way I did things. |
