Looking for a little info here - The permanent dome going up in the backyard will require software to run it. I want to schedule a list targets in advance - a week or three in advance, and then the software will automatically set up and photograph targets. If a target is not possible that night due to opening late due to WX or other issues, it will go to another target on the list, execute the imaging, and then if complete, remove it from the list and go back to whatever has not yet been imaged and work it into the schedule. I travel a lot and the dome and systems needs to run on full automation without me there. Please tell me your experience. Thanks. Kevin |

Hi Kevin, I have a NexDome Observatory and control everything in it with Voyager. I have run it fully automatically overnight with good success. I have weather information as an input and Voyager will shut down the observatory and wait for the weather to clear and then restart. The features you are asking about (scheduler for targets with some AI about what to shoot) will be coming out with Voyager Advanced in the coming weeks. A custom horizon line to account for trees, buildings, etc. is coming later according to Leo - Voyager author. I recommend you look at the Voyager forum and search on Rowland Archer's blog on Voyager Advanced for a in-depth look at what's coming. What I really like about Voyager is that it works, it just works. Hope this is helpful. Paul |

Hi, I used SGP for 3 years with very good success until I had some issues with focusing an obstructed telescope, then I migrated to Voyager. Voyager is far superior to SGP in every aspect. I've been running my rig with Voyager fully unattended for more than a year, I only need to update the targets I want to image on a weekly or biweekly basis. When Voyager advance is released I won't need to update the targets since the advance version will include a scheduler. Cheers, José |
