Integration with N.I.N.A, APT via ASCOM/ALPACA

Modern observatory automation revolves around perfect collaboration between software, telescope mounts, cameras, and the observatory roof. Therefore, SkyRoof Slide Systems supports integration with popular astrophotography software such as N.I.N.A and APT via ASCOM and ALPACA.

Thanks to these integrations, a Roll-Off-Roof observatory can function largely automatically. The observatory roof can open automatically before an imaging session starts and close safely as soon as the session ends or when poor weather conditions are detected.

Our systems are designed for reliable communication with modern observatory software and are suitable for both local and remote observatories. By utilizing ASCOM and ALPACA, a flexible solution is created that can easily collaborate with existing astronomy software and hardware.

Key capabilities of this integration include:

• Automatic opening and closing of the observatory roof
• Collaboration with N.I.N.A and APT
• Support via ASCOM and ALPACA
• Secure synchronization with telescope mount parking
• Suitable for remote observatory applications
• Reliable automation for astrophotography

Through smart software integrations, observatory automation becomes simpler, safer, and more efficient for both amateur astronomers and professional applications.
