Hey Chris, can I ask, did you get this idea from my dome or did you see it elsewhere?
As far as I know, I came up with this original idea when I built ASIGN and couldn't afford the usual strips I had seen others use to join the triangles. Once the inspiration for the little pentagons and hexagons was realised and worked, I was happy for the whole world to use it. I've since seen them used on other observatories and it would be personally interesting to find out where people get the idea from.
Baz.
