Many astronomers report doing LESS observing than they have in the past. All this fantastic technology, and sizeable investment, sits unused in the corner of a room, or buried in the garage.
What's needed is both a permanent and mobile solution to house and operate telescopic equipment at a moments notice, whether in the backyard or in the field.
By using the same proven material that's been used globally, for decades in agricultural products and outdoor structures, combined with an evolutionary patent pending design, SkyShed POD is the permanent or temporary observatory solution to house and operate the latest visual and photographic astronomical equipment.
POD's low cost and high quality make it the perfect alternative to much higher priced observatory solutions.
SkyShed POD Includes - POD Dome, 5 Wall Panels, 1 Door, Assembly Hardware, Assembly DVD.

New Ecomate Insulated Wall Panels
Hardened Ecomate Spray Foam Insulation, adds incredible strength to the already strong wall panels. It blocks Infra Red radiation, UV radiation, and keeps the interior much cooler in extremely hot outside temps. Will help keep heat inside in winter too.
The insulation option is designed for high heat environments, but the added strength makes it a great option for any environment. $60 extra per panel sold as a set.
Please Note About Discovery White and Insulation. If you're choosing Discovery White, consider Lunar Gray (which is light gray) or any other color if you want insulation. Insulation cannot be added to Discovery White.
