Motorise your Dome rotation - a must for unattended long exposure photography and imaging.

Slew the observatory dome in line with your telescope, then leave your telescope and dome to continue tracking the chosen object.

Designed for the Pulsar 2.7 metre dome only.

Adaptable to custom built observatories.

Specification:

The dome controller requires 12V DC power (at a current suitable for the motor employed) to operate the dome rotation motor. Power to the unit is controlled via the main switch and a red LED indicates when power is turned on. Dome slewing at 400 x sidereal speed in either direction is by operation of the slew switch on the control box. A microprocessor controls the automatic tracking by moving the dome in a stepwise fashion, each step being approximately 1.8°. Tracking speed can be adjusted from 10 x sidereal down to sidereal ÷ 20 using the tracking control knob. It is recommended that the unit is switched off when not in use.
