Is it an easy kit to put together.
Are there any other companys out there in OZ that supply observatories, except for pod and astro dome.
If anyone has the asnwers and any other type of useful information for me on this topic it would be great if you can reply.

The 2.3 meter is plenty big enough for up to about a 14" SCT/RCOS
Assembly is a one person job, except for lifting the dome onto the walls, two large blokes can do this with ease.
No other Oz suppliers exist, except for Sirius, Astrodome, POD and their agents (that I am aware of)
Sirius has a distinct advantage in that is automated systems (optional) are supported by Cyanogen, so integration of MaxDome II and Boltwood is a snap.
My dome

is now about 16 years old, and still functions very well.
