When I bought in Oct last year the rotation only kit from Sirius was about $3,500 + ~ $250 shipping + $110 in packaging plus handling and the shutter kit was quoted around $4,700 + shipping - ponder if prices have risen lately? You can always just wander down at the start of your run to open the dome and switch on gear and then again at the end of the night to close it - guess that would be a 5 minute walk both ways or 1 minute on a bike! |
IP over coax could be an option - I'll see how these access points work out. Things are looking promising now but I won't know for sure until I get my new computer.
The prices I was quoted are actually cheaper than that, but I'm also including the quoted cost of Maxdome which is an additional 3.5k
I want my gear to be able to image while I sleep. I only get a couple of hours of imaging on a clear night at the moment because I have to pack up at about 10pm (usually 9:30), and I don't want to be getting up in the middle of the night to shut things up.
I'm considering a few options but intend to motorise/automate it myself now. It might take up a bit of my time for a while, but it's not going to cost me over 10k, I'm certain of that.
