RoboSync Dome settings

Voyager Equipment Setup & Compatibility
1

Hi All,

Looking to configure the dome and I have read the wiki on robosync. My scopedome driver suggests that the GEM axis offset should be a negative number in the southern hemisphere (in my case -550mm between the optical axis and mechanical axis of the mount). The robosync wiki doesn’t state if it should be positive or negative this so I have currently got +550mm in that field (and -550mm in the scopedome driver config).

Anyone confirm if this is right?

Cheers

Matt

Thanks Leonardo.

This is from the scopedome manual and reason for the question.
