Picking up insulated roof panels next week!

Nice smooth roof. Does the controller have an interlock to enable a mount parked signal to ensure the roof only closes when the scope is parked?

Yes if you select close in NINA it will initiate park first. Also if it detects any unsafe condition it will close again after park. Also won't open unless the mount is live so it knows where it is.

After first polar align last night I was quite pleased with my pier positioning!

[CedricTheBrave]

Finally picked up my roof panels. First trial fit before a screw down looks good so far!

[CedricTheBrave]

Not quite done have some end panels to fit that will clean up the finish but pleased how it looks

It's one of the most clever ideas regarding the roll-off roof obsy. I like the roof sliding over your workshop (?) and the roof's construction.  👍
