Basic Data

  • Dome diameter: 4000 mm
  • Shutter width: 1170 mm
  • Dome height: 2960 mm
  • Diameter of the base ring: 3500 mm
  • Height of the base: 1100 mm
  • Fully automated driving systems
    for dome rotation and the shutter
  • DomeDome weight: 800 kg

 

The dome is made from polyester–glass laminate of up to 6 mm thickness, providing full resistance to weather conditions, and ensuring high durability and aesthetics at the same time. In addition, it is reinforced by special convex profiles on the outside of the mazer and reinforcements placed inside the structure. The dome is made up of 8 basic elements – it strongly facilitates transport and the assembly on the high buildings.

The tightness of the dome is guaranteed by its special construction which also prevents the leaking of water inside. The large gap at the base and the bright color covering prevent over-heating. Large window of one meter width the edge of sphere allows freely observations using telescopes of up to 120cm diameter. Observation window is designed so that the telescope had clear view of the zenith. Rotation of the dome is provided by a base placed track, it rolls thanks to 16 plastic rollers system.

Driving system of the dome is made of two silent low power engines supplied from the 230V. One controls the dome’s rotation, the second allows you to open and close observation window. Special encoder mounted on a circuit of the dome cooperates with the dedicated driver which constantly measures the location of the dome and adjusts the engines’ work respectively to the position of the telescope.

Hi!

How i can use the observation window, open and close, in full function when is not in home position? I have to add a new cable to the second engine?

We have a 4M scope dome, the observation window open and close perfectly, in home position sensor, but when it starts to move to the sides and stops, the window dont have power to close. And the sensors of rain and clouds doesnt work too. What can i do?

Thank you.

In the 4M dome (also in the 55M), the rotating part is powered by power contacts, which means that the observation window is opened and closed only in this position. You can connect the rotating part with a cable or use a UPS (power about 3kW). But it should not be a UPS for computers, but for industrial applications.

Thank you for your fast reply.

It’s simpler than you think. The observatory’s control card knows that for 4M and 55M domes, you have to set the dome to the power contacts before opening the flap, and it does it automatically. Your task is only to press the Open/Close button.
