StarBubble Portable Telescope, Observatory, Astronomical and Planetarium Domes

Shelter Systems' lightweight, StarBubbles^tm portable telescope, observatroy, astronomical and planetarium domes are designed to protect astronomers and their telescopes from light, wind and dew. The StarBubbles are freestanding and can be turned or moved easily. They are constructed with our white/black, light-blocking covering. This woven, ripstop covering will exclude all light from the interior of the dome except for the opening for your telescope. We can make the white out, black in or black out, white in.

The StarBubble™ portable telescope, observatroy, astronomical and planetarium domes line was developed to provide maximum interior space with a minimum footprint. We have taken our standard StarDome™s and added an additional band of poles and covering to the bottom, which creates more height. The walls actually come in a little at the bottom, like a bubble, so the diameter at the ground is about a foot less than the widest part of the dome. This allows you to stand right up against the wall without your head bumpingit. We have also removed one pole at mid- door section so that you can walk in without bending. The StarBubble observatory and planetarium domes has one door.

Two window flaps with velcro closures are provided for your telescope. The window openings are not cut by us nor are the window flaps installed. This way you can put them where you need them. We provide you with the velcro that is backed with sticky tape and two 3' x 3'window coverings of the White/Black so you can place the windows where you want. You can also buy extra windows at $25 each.
