The brief discussion with the use of all sky mirrors is of interest. In
New York there is a 35 foot stainless steel convex/concave mirror
located in the Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center. The concave side
faces upward and reflects an inversion of the Rockefeller building
skyline
see-- http://newyorkdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2006/10/sky-mirror.html
The design appears to be constructed in segments.
A possible design for a much larger all sky camera?
Don't rule out the metal mirror, Sir William Herschel made some large
ones.
