SkyRoof Desktop Application

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
