With a bit of ingenuity you could make a 'petal' style roof that opened in sections on the Star Plate idea. Just open a few panels in the direction you wanted to view.
Or alternatively make a whole seperate ring that turned on the upper beams with maybe a pair of sectors that opened.
Not sure how that would affect strength as the design of that locks the frame together in the roof apex. But yo could add a circular plate for rollers etc which would brace it as well.
Clever idea ...
