I
acquired my first scope in the fall of 2004 and
soon figured out I would need a observatory to
continue this hobby, I live in a very cold and
windy area in New England! I poked around to see
what was available for a low cost dome.... wow this
is going to be a expensive
hobby!
If you
are interested a bit more on the history of the
dome you can find more information
here.

I joined
a in October 2005 on CloudlyNighty where
a small group was spear heading a design for a
low cost dome. By the time I got involved with
the project Rick Needham had located a company
that expressed interest in manufacturing
the dome... that company is called
Polydome.
With-in 9 months the first domes were shipping
with the brand name of Explora-Dome!
