Default Dome Geometry?

It might well depend more on your own circumference ralative to the
internal diameter of the dome wall. Forget the maths and draw a simple
plan view. You may end up as a planetary gear driving the dome rotation
yourself if you're not careful. (and honest about the scale of the
problem) ;-)
