Just in time for the 40-year anniversary of Baader domes on Mt. Skinakas, we were able to install a fourth dome (5.3 m) at the same site in October 2025. The following Baader domes at this location (sorted by date) are still in operation and continue to withstand the high wind speeds:
- 1986: 3.2 m slit dome
- 1998: 8.0 m slit dome
- 2021: 5.3 m slit dome (Advanced)

A detailed article on the history of the Baader domes on Mt. Skinakas has been published here and is available as a free download: Sterne und Weltraum: The Skinakas Observatory on Crete
