well here is the kicker - i shot myself in the foot to start with as i somehow forgot to turn off the dome rotation from last i used it. with the cloudy rainy skies we have had it certainly did not recharge the battery to rotate the dome - in an emergency act i have a trickle charge battery charger on the battery recharging it while it is moving the dome.
