I might be upgrading late in the year or early next year to a 10” newt which is 280mm wide
The narrower the slit the more darker it is inside and reduces dew and shields against gusty winds too. With a NexDome it is a pain to manually move it all the time due to the relatively narrow slit. My little semi auto control system to rotate it makes AP so much more enjoyable
