Thanks Darren. I am fortunate that I have a builder friend who also happens to be into amateur astronomy and has his own observatory. He is going to give me a hand to retrofit a motor and we will definitely be looking a the sliding gate option as well as others such as panel lift mechanisms. Once we have done that however the tricky bit is interfacing the motor to a control system which is where products such as Sky Roof and Sky Dome come in.
