Astro Dome looks interesting.. since it seems to be made of galvanised steel plates, I feel there will be a need for additional thermal insulation, and possibly sealing (silicone rubber?).
Does anybody have any recommendations and/or experiences to share?
Otherwise, it seems better to me because it's slightly larger than Sirius (they have 2.4m and
3m diameter kit, ideal for my 10"). No need for additional walls either.
Also, transportation may be cheaper, as it's packed in a much smaller crate.
