ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORIES
FEATURING FIBERGLASS CLAMSHELL DOMES

In all our clamshell domes, the design simplifies dome operation and minimizes maintenance. A single opening configuration will allow a heavenly body to be viewed all night but you can also completely open the observatory to enjoy the total sky or achieve instant thermal equilibrium.

12 FOOT DOMES

7 foot diameter domes are ideal for one or two astronomers or remote operation. Add one or more 12 inch base "risers" as shown here to ensure adequate height for even the largest astronomer and most telescopes.

Shipped assembled and ready to use, you can be out there enjoying the sky minutes after delivery.

Simplicity is affordability and this dome makes night viewing accessible to everyone but still features the same power options as our larger domes.
Our 12 foot diameter domes are perfect for the individual seeking a little more room or space for more than one telescope. Large enough for several astronomers, this observatory is ideal for schools and astronomy groups.

Requiring only 6 man hours to assemble and weighing just 420 lb. installation of this dome is also a snap.

The clamshell shutters of the 12 foot observatory are light enough to be operated by hand but most customers opt for the hand operated or powered opening option. Either way this dome is still presents an affordable opportunity for the amateur astronomer or the budget conscious institution.




ELONGATED DOMES

BIG DOMES

Elongated domes offer yet another alternative where space constraints, equipment configuration or usage objectives do not require a spherical enclosure. The 7 x 12 foot dome for example is ideal for customers that do not need the 12 foot but need more room for a longer telescope.

Elongated domes can be based on any of our standard domes. A 12 x 18 foot dome uses a split 12 foot dome for the ends just as the 7 x 12 foot dome uses a split 7 foot dome for the ends. These domes represent the non-stop innovation at work at Astro Haven.

The clam shell design is also perfect for large enclosures and Astro Haven is currently offering 16 and 20 foot domes Using a foam core for rigidity there is almost no limit on how BIG we can go to meet your requirements.

Big domes are installed by Astro Haven trained personnel so you are assured of rapid and trouble free installation.

If you have really BIG requirements, talk to us. The benefits of the clam shell design increase with the size of the dome.
