pros:
cheap! , practical for someone handy with basic powertools,
lightweight (one person can lift my 9ft dome, 2 very easily.
Can be torn down easily and moved. Insulates well(keeps scope , computer
cool). Traditional dome benefits of low horizon and wind off scope.
Geodesic very strong. 3 people fit inside mine easily with 12" F5 Reflector.
cons:
Insulates too well, use of fans for cool down helps this!
I wish I had made it bigger! 9ft is fine but 12 ft would be sweeeeet!
See Chris M's geodesic 2 storey.....now that is classy
