Dave, I am thinking of completely upgrading to a new Sirius 2.3m observatory or a dome only option, with automated dome tracking.
Ok, so the hardware (board) supplied by Sirius, that interfaces with the dome motorisation, comes with a stand alone bit of software that can communicate with what ever Planetarium program (I use STAR Atlas pro) you are using to control your mount, is this correct?
