I was able to go out and take a look at the Pro Dome last weekend, One of the “low friction strips” have come loose at the bottom of the front shutter. We just need to reattach it with some double stick tape after preping/cleaning the surface. The bigger problem I noticed is some damage to the front shutter itself which will likely keep it from moving cleanly up and into the top shutter. The damage is at the edge of the front shutter and causes material to bulge out the side. It looks like the front shutter probably was stressed moving upward and might have flexed at that point and the material surface cracked and ruptured. This is not a new problem and that shutter has been repaired a couple of times before using a fiberglass repair kit (same as used on boats). Always something to learn in this hobby. 
Thanks, Chris! Lots to do, I’m sure
Hope the Pro Dome is repaired for the member night.
New codes?
That is unlikely I am afraid. The fiberglass repair will not be easy, especially with windy days.
Heading out tonight to look at some things, but also to take a close look at the dome front shutter in advance of attempting repairs, possibly tomorrow. I have materials, just need to think things through.
The plan is to renove the front shutter, work on it, and then re-install after the repair has time to cure (about 2 days I think). I have a tarp to cover the opening, but I still want to wait till it can be done when there wont be rain or high winds for a few days.
I just saw your post on repairing the Dome opening. Did you figure out a time and date? Or did you already complete the repairs?
Sorry Marvin sir. If you have been looking at the weather, we need 3 or 4 days of decent weather so we can remove the front shutter, work on it, and let it cure before reinstalling. No opportunity to do that so far.
I’ve read about the Super El Nino that’s developing. I haven’t been out looking at the sky in so long I’ll have to clean the dust off of my scopes. Maybe June will be better than May.
