Internally they're both doing very well, and testament to the quality of the installation they both open and turn very smoothly still. It's just a pity that the Uni accommodation blocks are now being built up the hill towards the domes, gradually lighting up the entire area. Hopefully the Rotary Club/uni will move them somewhere darker - maybe to one of MAS's dark sky sites?  |
Yes Chris, I and the friend who makes the domes had Dinner with Rugby, and had met him a cuople of times in Queensland prior to coming to Sydney to install the 2.9mt one's, the one on the Power house was also 2.9mt.
Why didn't the University not want to clean up the Domes, they are verry expensive pieces of equipment ?
Obviously not bothered about the waste of public funds
cheers
