Baader Slit Domes – Advanced
Observatory domes with broad up- and over-shutter and that can be controlled remotely, sized from 2.1 to 8.5 meters in diameter. They can be in sync with your remote / robotic telescope setup, with endless rotation, horizontal flap movement, and are fully ASCOM and INDIGO compatible – or via dedicated API.
Advanced Slit Domes are used by a variety of users and can fit medium to large telescope setups that have up to 2000 mm aperture.
Baader Advanced Slit-Domes are available in sizes: 3.2m, 4.2m, 5.3m, 6.15m and 8.5m
Applications
- Astronomy / Astrophotography
- Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR)
- Space Domain Awareness (SDA)
- Free-Space Optical Communication (FSOC)
- Defense
All Baader Slit Dome models include
| Installation | Performed by Baader personnel at the customer site |
| Warranty | 2 years warranty for all electronic and electric components |
| 10 years warranty for outer dome skin and dome mechanics | |
| We warrant for 200km/h wind speed to achieve undeteriorated performance and protection of the dome interior, with the dome being closed and in parking position | |
| Fail-safe Features | Hand crank system to close dome in case of power failure |
| Ready for Emergency Weather Station (required for remote operation) |
Required for all Baader Slit Domes:
Either short cylinder (A) or cylindrical base (B)
The short cylinder is the interface between the dome and the structure is it to be installed on. The cylindrical base is another option that can be incorporated to maximize the interior of an observatory.
