The NexDome dome rotation kit provides motorized dome rotation. This also allows for
rotation control by various software packages including ASCOM and TheSkyX.
To install the dome rotator, start by attaching the double-sided tape on the inside of the dome
lip along the center of the track slot. Press firmly while unrolling the tape. Once the tape is in
place, remove the protective strip from the outside (Fig 1).
Figure 1 Install the double-sided tape as in (A) and remove the protective cover strip (B).
Next, install the gear track by unrolling the track while simultaneously and firmly pressing it
into place along the tape (Fig 2).
TIPS
•
The provided double-sided tape works best with applying pressure over time.
•
Clean the track slot and back of the track using household cleaner, such as Windex and
make sure both surfaces are dry.
