All models include the new smaller pinion drive gear or a #40 chain sprocket if required.

The SkyRoof IAA Motor System may be configured to completely automate your observatory. We provide free consulting to determine your exact design requirements. It is important that we talk with you directly to assess the proper motor size and how it may be mounted in your observatory. Another very important consideration is if you have roof clearance for all of your telescopes when they are at there highest slew position. If you do not, you will require photo cells for each telescope to detect a safely parked scope. Based on your particular needs there may be other issues as well, that need to be addressed.

We are here to help design a custom system that works for you!.....just call, Jim Collins @ 510-495-7932

MODIFIED MOTOR NOTE

***All of our modified gate openers have their original electronic control boards removed.***  

Due to unresolved issues during electrical storm activity, the original gate opener control board logic has caused “Phantom Roof Openings” without the User or Skyroof issuing any action.  

***We now install our own solid state relay board for direct reliable motor control.***
