Hi Carl,
Thanks for the comiserations. Got the scope under a heap of tarps etc. Best I can do for now - and I only drift aligned it to its best ever position last week!!!!
Nothing worth salvaging from the dome. THe base is fine though. I'll start again. I learnt a lot from the first building experience so Dome 2.0 will be a better effort. I am looking at tough "truckies' tarp" - a kind of very tough PVC - type covering which you see on big rigs. Perhaps I will get it made in a hemispheric shape and fit it onto a much lighter but stronger frame.
