I have seen advertised in astronomy magazines Sirrius Dome observatories. I have the pricing etc for the Home Model (2.3mtr) but before proceeding as they aint cheap, I was wondering if anyone either owns one or had any experience with one they could pass on any information to me Ie: are they worth the investment, are they large enough for the scope I have, etc.
Look forward to reciving any comments you have
PS: It would be great to hear from someone in WA, maybe I could come and see what the thing looks like |
G'Day Bobby,
And
Unless you have deep pockets
I'd stay clear off Sirius Domes
I had a quote for delivery from them and it was the guts of $800 and I live about 100 k Nth of Sydney.God only knows what it would cost you.Anyway here are a few links that may help you decide.
