Have a general question for folks with DIY type dome observatories.
How large is your dome slit and what size instrument are you using? I will be using scopes between 10 and 12" presently and maybe a 16" later on. I am trying to decide about a slit 24" wide (seems small but good to block out light) and one 40" which would be more than big enough but may defeat the purpose of a dome as it would let in considerable light from my suburban location.
Any info would be appreciated.
Mike
