Hi Alan,

Thank you for a comprehensive reply, I have been using the free trial version but have got stuck on ACP weather interface for HitechAstro relying on a script to interface with ACP. How do I set out to do this any example would help.

Cheers

Hi Alan

Unlike you I have a Pulsar Dome with Rigel Controled rotator and shuter control. MaximDl has an interface with the Boltwood Cloud Detector. I am really mainly interested in the shuter closure should rain be detected on the Hightec Delux do you use Maxim or the Hightec software to achieve this?

Many thanks

The Boltwood cloud sensor will work with Maxim DL but is pricey, The aurora cloudsensor is more reasonable but do not know how reliable it is for automated dome shutter closure. The Hightec cuirrently does not appear to be available again how reliable?
