    Baader Standard Domes and Turn-Key Observatories

    This entry was posted on December 1, 2020 by Team Baader Planetarium

    After more than 50 years of dome production, we notice a steady increase in requests for details and availability of our observatories. Be it classic Slit-Domes from 2.1 - 8.5 meters or AllSky Domes from 2.3 - 6.5 meters, but above all turnkey observatory solutions. The demand for these constructions – mostly with requirements for extreme climatic conditions – has increased so much that we currently still have to name far too long delivery times.   New production facility The long delivery times, as well as modern demands for more environmentally friendly production standards have made it imperative to relocate our entire dome production to newly built production halls in order to enable higher capacities and faster workflows. The new production facilities, which are currently being...

    Baader Observatories Map - Discover our Domes

    This entry was posted on November 6, 2019 by Team Baader Planetarium

    In 2019 we reported little about our observatory installations, instead we worked on an observatory world map. It shows not all, but many of the hundreds of observatories and domes we have installed over the last 50 years. This world map will continue to be extended with new and partly even more old observatory installations. Please note: Most of the content was filled in by our customers themselves. For this reason we ask for your understanding that this content is mostly written in german language only (indicated with a german flag next to the title). On our observatory world map you can see with many pictures and information all installations, which we may present - divided into the categories Private Observatories, Research and Education, und...

  • 2,6m private classic dome in Switzerland with GM2000 QCI

    2,6m private classic dome in Switzerland with GM2000 QCI

    This post has not yet been translated to english, we apologize. In the meantime until we get to it, please use Google Translate or a similar tool. Thank you for your understanding. Kundenurteil von Josef Bucher Der Wunsch, eine eigene Sternwarte irgendwo auf dem Lande draussen unter einem wenig lichtverschmutzten Himmel zu haben ist bestimmt der Wunsch vieler Amateurastronomen. Seien wir ehrlich: Das Suchen nach gut erreichbaren und geeigneten Beobachtungsplätzen, der stets wiederkehrende Auf- und Abbau der sperrigen Instrumente, buntes Kabelwirrwarr auf dem Boden, leere Akkus und PCs auf wackeligen Campingtischen ist nicht jedermanns Sache. Vom Winde, der einem um die Ohren pfeift, dem Taubeschlag auf Tuben und Okularen und dem Frieren in der kalten Jahreszeit ganz zu schweigen. Mir erging es jedenfalls so. Aber...

  • Experiences with observatory domes from Baader Planetarium and other brands

    Experiences with observatory domes from Baader Planetarium and other brands

    This entry was posted on August 7, 2019 by Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang Paech Last modified on November 5, 2020.

    For many years now Baader Planetarium has been asking me from time to time to put on paper my experiences with observatory domes which I had to deal with during my life as an active observer and user of observatories. I finally wanted to fulfill this wish and have summarized my experiences here ... I'd like to say a few words about my background: My amateur astronomical and technical experience with classic observatory domes began in 1967 when I joined the Berlin Wilhelm Foerster Observatory (WFS). Im Laufe weniger Jahre – neben Sternwarten- und Planetariumsveranstaltungen – wurde ich dort so etwas wie ein "freiberuflicher" technischer Mitarbeiter. Ich habe dort bis zum Ende meines Studiums Ende 1987 eng mit Werner Nehls (Witte & Nehls, Konstrukteur die...

    2,1M / 2,6M / 3,2M BAADER reference domes for private use

    This post has not yet been translated to english, we apologize. In the meantime until we get to it, please use Google Translate or a similar tool. Thank you for your understanding. Durchmesser 2.1 Meter Kuppel 2.1 Meter Kuppel mit Flachdachadapter ... der Einbau der Kuppel verlief reibungslos sie funktioniert seither einwandfrei. Selbst bei Schneetreiben und starkem Frost, wie wieder in diesen Tagen, sind keine Einschränkungen der Funktionalität zu bemerken. In früheren Jahren habe ich mein Teleskop, mit langer Justierarbeit, auf die Terrasse gestellt. Oftmals waren dann die Bemühungen vergebens, da sich der Himmel wieder bedeckt hatte. So kam ich immer weniger zu meinem Hobby. Jetzt aber, auch wenn der Himmel sich nur für eine Stunde ohne Wolken zeigt, brauche ich nur noch die Kuppel...
