Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dome alternative - flat acrylic endcap

Yes, I have plenty of hi-res real made Triton sub pictures including
the hatch/dome stress analysis pictures and production pictures. That
is a really great design but requires something that scares me a bit -
making a hole for the hatch in acrylic dome...
Now when I know that my dome is to large I got to think about
something else. Cause I just cant buy it for 30.000$ from Blanson ltd.

Any other ideas to build a sub with a maximum viewing expierience and
not-so-high budget (100m max, 2 persons)?

Thanks
d.
