[PSUBS-MAILIST] New dome

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Sean. If you can put your face against a window comfortably as in a CT then I would say 6 inch minimum but 8 inch would be ideal. I can’t see bigger being better in a CT.  When I had the 6 inch conical port in E3000 I could see very well, but being in a sphere it was very uncomfortable. With 12 inch ID it is much better but mostly comfortable.  In a cylinder sub then I think a big dome 34 inches is perfect. 
The biggest factor is cost. It seems the better the view the bigger the budget
I am pretty sure E3000 will get a much bigger dome next winter

Or putting it another way, between the extremes of a complete immersive experience (I.e. an acrylic Nemo hull), and a can in which you're effectively leaning in to look through peepholes, what is the best compromise?
