The dome has been collected.
It will shelter pet sheep on a farm.
The next step is to dismantle the two storey observatory.
Meanwhile I am raising the ground level beside it.

This blog has become my ATM design, build and imaging diary. I have recently built several new telescopes, a large equatorial mounting and a raised 10' [3m] dome on an octagonal building. Be aware that I deal with building solar telescopes. Which are potentially VERY dangerous! I can accept NO responsibility for any action not directly supervised by myself. You are NOT entitled to blame any other person for your OWN lack of skill or ignorance. You copy me at your own peril!

The new owner will be collecting the parts of the green dome on Wednesday evening. 👍

FURTHER PRICE REDUCTIONS! Now 50kr or £5 equivalent.
UPDATE: 14th March 2024 Nobody has shown any interest in the dome as an observatory in progress. Nor or as a farm animal shelter.
I have resorted to advertising it on Facebook:

Note that the dome is now dismantled into 3 major segments + shutters. Each segment must weigh about 150kg!
It is lying in my rural back garden on
Fyn in central Denmark. It will require the help of several strong men,
or adequate mechanical aid, to load the parts onto a car transporter
trailer. This is how it was delivered to me by the farmer's supplies
business. To date it has probably cost me £4000 equivalent. 40,000kr. I am asking for a nominal 1000kr or about £100 equivalent. Just to keep time wasters away. NOW REDUCED TO 50DKK or £5. Hoping somebody will take it away!
No physical help will be afforded by myself as a 77 year old
with increasingly severe health problems.
It must go but no time wasters please!
This is a very large and heavy dome built from thick fiberglass! Even though it is dismantled into manageable pieces do not underestimate the effort required to deal with it safely.
Lots more details and pictures in the previous blog post. Oct 1st 2023.
