ASTROSIB ASD-4.5 Dome

Automated AllSky astronomical dome — full sky access, remote control, reliable all-season operation.

Монтировка ASTROSIB ASD-4.5 вид сбоку

Modern astronomical cameras paired with fast telescopes work at high speed and require rapid retargeting — a traditional rotating dome with a narrow slit often becomes an obstacle. An AllSky dome provides full access to the entire sky and eliminates the problem entirely.

The dome is indispensable for guided tours. In a traditional dome, heat from visitors rises into the slit — toward the telescope — and degrades image quality. In an AllSky dome with a fully open sky, this effect is absent.

Dome walls are 6 mm polyester fiberglass with a glossy white finish: resistant to UV radiation, precipitation, and temperature swings. The metal frame provides structural rigidity and wind resistance.

The dome is suitable for:

  • astronomical observatories and research centers
  • planetariums and educational institutions
  • any facility with observation equipment

Ease of Transport and Installation

The dome consists of modular elements, simplifying delivery and assembly at sites with difficult terrain.

AllSky Design

4 movable panels provide full or partial access to the entire celestial sphere.

Autonomy and Safety

Drive based on self-locking worm gear motors. Battery backup via inverter. With solar panels connected — full independence from the grid.

Capacity and Comfort

The entrance door is accessible in any dome position — with panels open or closed. Inside — 12 seats for visitors.

Quality Control

Every dome is fully assembled and tested at the factory before shipment.
