Hi Niels,
that is a Astro Haven Clamshell: http://www.astrohaven.com/

Russ Croman has a nice video about the assembly of his dome on his webpage:

... or what is it called?

http://www.bb-obs.com:81/images/t_dome.jpg

Where to find information about how such domes work and are constructed?
 
Are they rain-tight? Is it feasable to make such a dome at home? 
Which materials? How are the shells balanced? etc.

Best regards,

Niels Foldager
