I did get prices for a Sirius dome, but I suffered some sticker shock when I saw how much it would cost (I'd like to go automated as well).
No matter what I do, I need to get some base down (concrete slab), a pier on it and power to it. So they're basically fixed costs.
I just have to work out what's cheaper: the dome + its automation gear versus the roll off shed and it's automation gear (seems simpler and cheaper - open/close roof only, no aligning with the scope). Weather detection system would be the same either way, so I don't have to factor that into the decision.
I also have some delusions of getting another scope at some point and setting it up at the same time and thought a roll off would be easier for that.
