Design and Construction of Dome for Observatory

Abstract

The observatory building project is a project associated to a current project of Faculty of

Engineering, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi to build a large Newtonian

Telescope, 600 mm. (24 in), the ROTAR 1 Telescope. The ROTAR 1 Telescope sit on an

automatically target backing German Equatorial mount, The project was researched, designed

and built by lecturers and students of the University, is intended to enhance education in visual

astronomy as well as the study of our Solar system both for in-house usages and external public

services. Other objective of this project is also to substitute import of currently unavailable

technology in Thailand.

The project was started by collecting many in formations form astronomy books, A team

of engineer was sent to observe dome construction at Trebur Obsenratory. Germany, Many

interviews were made with experts in astronomy and engineering fields.

The result is a 7 m. Observatory with overlapped half-shell design that house the ROTAR 1

from exposure of sunlight and rain. The dome is fully insulated. The are 2 swing-doors, 2.00 m.

width by 2.40 mO height and can be opened from l o to almost 180°
