The Pier-Tech Dome 1 is a walk in dome observatory with the following standard
features.
Galvalume construction with
interlocking dome sheets providing a strong watertight design
able to withstand harsh weather conditions.

it’s built into the dome.
Motors on shutter and azimuth
rotation are included.
Optional automation system is
available from Pier-Tech Inc, no need to find another supplier.
Viewing range is from horizon to 15
degrees past zenith.
Full size walk-in door is included.
Optional contactor bars to provide
current to shutter motor are available. This option eliminates
the need to plug and unplug the shutter motor’s power cable,
before and after dome rotation.
Do-it yourself installation.
Complete assembly manual with detailed step by step pictures
included.
PTD1 Shutter design
Up and over shutter that seals against the top of the walk in door.
Shutter opens from top of walk in door to 15 degrees past zenith.
Since the walk in door travels with the dome in azimuth, the viewing
range is effectively from ground to 15 degrees past zenith. Walk in
door and shutter can be opened independently from each other.
