Bit of an update.

I purchased a roll off roof system from Scope Dome. They make great domes (one of which I have purchased for another automated observatory, yep two obs automated) but their gear is adaptable to roll off roof systems.

It comes complete with main board and a wireless board to handle control of thermometer, limit switches for the roof, hygrometer, Cloud sensor, park scope position and a range of other things which are useful for automated observatories.

I have one issue though and that is the inverter has a faulty command pin which Scope Dome are replacing. It should be here in a week or so.

I have a video of the roof opening, but not closing. When I have it closing I will post another video with it doing everything.
