Question for dome owners:-3 star align
Hi,
For those who have dome observatories. How do you go doing a 3 star align when you have to not only get the 2nd and 3rd stars lined up in the focuser, but you need to keep rotating the dome into the correct place. Does the alignment process potentially fail because you spend too long getting the dome into place?
I’m just considering the home obs and the various merits. I like the dome for the dew/wind protection and its traditional looks, but it also cuts out that lovely big sky overhead. The roll-off seems simpler to build, plenty of sky to see, but more prone to dew and the breeze.
Thanks,
Bruce
