🛰️ Overview Selling our NexDome 2.2m (8') backyard observatory, purchased new in April 2021.

The system allows full computer‑controlled dome rotation and shutter operation.

🛠️ Condition Smooth, reliable dome rotation Shutter opens/closes properly Electronics and automation systems fully functional Panels clean, UV‑stable, no cracks or leaks Currently installed on our second‑floor deck in Greenbank, WA
🚚 Pickup & Disassembly Buyer must be willing to come to our home, inspect the dome in person, and assist with disassembly. This is ideal for the buyer — you’ll learn exactly how the dome is assembled and how to reassemble it correctly at your location. You will need a truck and/or trailer to haul the dome and components.
📍 Location Greenbank, Whidbey Island, WA (Exact address provided only to confirmed buyers.)
🔭 Additional Equipment Due to medical issues, my husband can no longer continue his astrophotography hobby, so we are beginning to sell all his equipment — starting with the dome. We will also be selling a significant amount of astrophotography equipment soon. If you’re interested in a full setup, feel free to ask.
