Now finally, the slit cover is made from 4 sections of overlapping flute board with the lower section at the back of the slit, glued in place and three sections able to slide over each other forming a weather seal.
These sections slide in a "track" made from strips of 4mm flute board glued together to form an E shaped end cross section.
When I want to view, I remove the front cover section and slide the top sections back past the apex of the dome, giving me a clear view overhead.
This has proven itself to work very well, however I have made provision for a flat strap that I use to secure the slit cover in high winds.

Could we get some close up images on how the slit goes together? I am going to soon make something identical to yours, and was just wondering how it weather seals and opens. Thanks
