About SBIG MaxDome II Observatory

You can elevate your astronomical observations with the advanced MaxDome II Observatory Dome Control System Shutter Kit. This high-tech system, designed by the reputable brand Sbig, offers a sophisticated solution for controlling your observatory dome's shutter.

The MaxDome II is a fully integrated system that provides flexible and precise control over your observatory dome's rotation and shutter operations. The system includes two identical, state-of-the-art controller boards. The main board, responsible for dome rotation, connects directly to your controlling PC, ensuring seamless integration with your existing setup.

The second board, mounted on the rotating dome, operates the shutters. This innovative board is powered by a solar-charged battery (not included), making it an eco-friendly choice for your observatory.

The MaxDome II features a wireless inductive link, establishing constant communication between the two boards. This innovative feature allows for real-time control and status monitoring of your observatory dome, eliminating the need for clumsy and trouble-prone electrical contacts.

With the MaxDome II Observatory Dome Control System Shutter Kit, you can enjoy a convenient, efficient, and high-tech solution for managing your observatory dome.
