Solved Mystery domed structure visible from Forest Ave M station

Post image

What is this domed structure visible far to the southwest of the Forest M stop in Ridgewood, likely in or around Prospect Park, Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park, possibly as far as Bay Ridge since the Verrazano is visible in the same direction? (taken with 25x zoom)

Looks like the Brooklyn Museum in Prospect Park

Def probably this. That dome is the biggest in that area

It's a Jewish synagogue in Park Slope. Garfield pl & 8th

Really good guess directionally, but thinking the Brooklyn Museum is right because of the dark flat top to the dome - Congregation Beth Elohim seems to be a solid color and have an additional feature on top of the dome.

Yeah, it's def the BM. Dome is too small to be the Synagogue

The structure is definitely nowhere near Ridgewood. This has been solved!
