I really do want a rotatable dome but I dont want to wait that long, as finances and time preclude that from being a swift developement, so Im going to take a lot of net stuff into account and have a two stage developement. Start off with a simple rolloff roof shed desighn 3.5 by 7 meters, half of withc the rolloff end has substantial steel roof support, this this will give me an immediate observatory plus the other half to build the dome that will eventullay go on the nore substantial half second story, get a little higher because I dont want to defoliate the whole property. Ill Pier the scope on an isolated concrete pier that would end up being approx 4 meters high, comp room and all that downstairs, and original workshop, sleepout. once the project is under way Ill see if IIS want to feature it DYI, Ive been playning with materials and ply frames and masonite seem to be the way to go for the dome itself as Im allergic to epoxies, and steel "too hard basket" dont have the tools,
