Beat up old dome
Ok, I finally managed to convince my neighbours to sell their old, unused (installed two owners ago by a gentleman now deceased) Sirius dome.
I got it for a very low price, but the thing is in quite poor condition. I intend to get it cleaned up and either paint it or re gel-coat it.
It's got lichen all over it and wasp nests under the dome so it no longer rotates freely, but fingers crossed it's all functional after a good clean.
I plan to automate the thing, but it currently has no motors/controller etc.
Any advice for a new (old) dome owner?
