Yes Fred, that was my first option, unfortunately the price Astrohaven quoted me for their 7 feet Dome assembly with Powered Hatch System was 12,594 USD, plus 720 USD for crating, plus 600 USD for a single Base ring 12 inches high (you need at least 2). Of course shipping to Australia and GST excluded. If you are aware of any other (local?) supplier able to provide a clamshel solution with a down-to-earth price you are most that welcome to give me a feedback!
