Currently at 8:50pm indoor temperature is 17.2 and outside temperature is 16.8, a different of 0.8. Of course this is just the first of many results and I will of course repeat the process of cooling the observatory over the next week and months see if there is a trend.
My future plan is to add a Wireless Temperature/Humidity Weather Station like this one from Jaycar. https://www.jaycar.com.au/temperatur...ation/p/XC0412

Actually, it's unlikely to be an issue, an insulated wood and gyprock wall has little thermal mass, so once you open the dome for an evening ahead, any ambient heat built up inside the observatory should dissipate pretty quickly, with low levels of continued radiation from the walls..?
Brick, stone or concrete walls are probably the sort of materials worth avoiding.
