More work has been done yesterday and this morning.

With those guard panels, you need to be careful with the bolt lengths being used. If they're too long they'll impact the dome rotation. Where the guards overlap you'll need the longest bolts, but in other places keep them as short as possible.

For the maxdome unit itself that controls the dome rotation, I had 2 problems. The first was that the motor was wired in reverse so it moved the wrong direction when seeking for home. The second problem was that the paint on the motor gear used for sensing the revolutions had worn off, so it had no idea where it was or how many revs it was doing. Repainting that fixed that and homing works well.
