I've had a look inside one of the Sirius domes owned by an ASWA member and they keep a 12" LX200 in there - there is heaps of room. This person is fairly meticulous in attending to details and researching info and the site was prepared well, so there was little trouble setting it up, but it's a two person job as least. They also got two of the side panels that stick out a bit (can't think what to call them) so you can stick gear or shelves in there and I would recommend at least one of them.

One thing to note is that the scope is set up on a wedge, and this means the pier is offset from the centre.

One problem that was encountered was that the battery provided for the optional motorised dome-turning track was too weak for the job and they had to buy a bigger battery.
