Here are the domes that he bases his observations from - the left dome houses his main apparatus - a 16" SCT plus SETI goodies, and on the right a 10" with an ST-series SBIG attached. A few of us in the society have had official training on these two - so that we can run them without Dr Bhathal being physically present.
This photo was from one of our public nights we put on during IYA '09 last year. The domes have been...uhmm... washed since then.

Chis I helped to build and install those domes in 1999, also put one on the top of the power house museum, the dome sadly is no longer there but in storage
It was about time the domes at the university where cleaned up, they looked pretty grotty when I last saw them a couple of years ago
