Re: insulating the roof
I am just throwing ideas out here...
If you are concerned about losing heat through your , try putting a layer, or heck 2 layers, of the clear bubble wrap that is used for packing on the inside of the . Put the bubbles together in the middle. It shouldn't stop too much of the light, and it should add a pretty good layer to the dome.
The yurts that I have been in during nasty weather did not have a dome. They used a piece of canvas that was insulated with a quilted felt backing. I know that works, because it was -28C outside, and it was sweater - flannel shirt comfortable inside with a small wood stove, just a short time after the fire was started. This was in a 23 foot yurt, not huge, but not one of the baby ones.
Sort of cut down on the ambient light though...
