To all those with Sirius 2.3m dome observatories

[h0ughy]

I am pleading to anyone with the 2.3m sirius observatory if they could take some pictures of the rope configuration of the shutter system and a few of the walls and dome joints. I lost the images i took of Phils observatory before it was taken apart. In anticipation thanks:help:

Also - Marcus and John G, how much did it cost you guys to make your base?

Hi David

From memory the base cost around $500 or so, can't remember the exact figure.

For the walls, I stripped clean the old sealant and got some heavy duty wide sealer tape from Bunnings and used that. I put a double strip along the dome flanges, they then bolt together using the 1/4" bolts.

If you like, I can type out the rope sequence from the manual for you, can't take any photos at the mement, belting down rain.

Cheers

thanks John - will wait for a dry day ;)

You'll find the rope sequence in the attached manual. Can't provide pictures either as the obs is a two hours drive into the woods. Maybe over the weekend if you're still having problems. Not difficult anyway.
