One of my most memorable asteroid observations was done directly into a gale where I only opened the dome upper shutter 5cm, just enough to see the object. The observation was rock solid!

I'm a massive Sirius dome fan for many reasons including temp stability, security, weather protection and automation.

On that question of security, whilst I'm not a criminologist, your average tea-leaf seems to see a shed and breaks in looking for easy to convert to cash tools and the like. Never seen an LX200 in cashconverters.
