Here's a link to a thread on an astronomy board that I made as I built it...

It's a roll-off roof, not the typical dome that you are used to seeing. For me, the roll off roof made more sense. Domes need more expensive control hardware to move the shutter and rotate. A roll off is simpler and doesn't attract the same attention as a dome.

It was the first time I did any exterior construction, and I'm pretty proud of my work.
