cyclical,
I wouldn't use polycarb because it scratches too easily. It's actually "stronger" in that it doesn't shatter, but to do that it has to be more soft. If I were building a 6" diameter window, I'd probably go with 3/4 or 1" acrylic since it's a larger span. Freckleface.com is the cheapest source I know of for both polycarb and acrylic.
My next step is figuring out how to machine some flats on the housing where the latches screw on. It would be nice to have them sit flat.
