It is hard to avoid the cold in any sort of observatory as warm air will rise and try to escape through any opening in the roof. Yes a dome may have a smaller opening but it still vents and some rotation has to be provided in some way. A ROR, of adequate size, can have a warm room towards the back, and you don't need to roll the roof back entirely, depending on your location and how you orient the building. For imagers, it does not take much effort to provide for remote monitoring or operation from your main house. I run a WiFi local area network which reaches the Obs and allows Teamviewer to link the house PC with the Obs system.
