Welcome to the AutomaDome Help Site

AutomaDome is a powerful dome control application that integrates with Software Bisque’s TheSky6 Professional Edition to "slave" (or automatically follow) the position of the dome’s aperture to the position of the telescope.

As you slew the telescope using TheSky, AutomaDome automatically rotates the dome’s aperture to the correct azimuth taking into account the telescope-dome geometry.

Note that AutomaDome is widely used to operate a range of dome controllers from different manufacturers, in conjunction with a wide variety of telescope mountings. In short, AutomaDome works to keep the dome aligned with the telescope, regardless of the dome's configuration, and regardless of the telescope's orientation, mounting and position within the dome.

Automation/Scripted Operation

AutomaDome can be scripted using a standard COM interface. See the AutomaDome Dome Object for details.
