My site is dark ( Bortle 3 ) and I have minimal stray light in my yard , my Lappy will be set to night mode ( red ) so minimal light emitted
I haven’t come across anyone who’s painted the interior of their NexDome black or recommend to paint it
To cut down on stray light and darken it, cooler in my head during day time and a slightly cooler inside, but I suspect your solar coat would help there, my dome is a Sirius dome, fibreglass.
