Hi all,

I'm considering replacing our DDW dome automation package (which has always been a little finicky, and which blew a capacitor on a circuit board yesterday) with something that will be (I hope) more reliable. It seems like my options are:

- MaxDome II
- Foster Systems
- Maybe ACE SmartDome (I can't see anything on their site that says they have an ASCOM driver, but I see people mention it here.)

Any thoughts on the relative merits of these systems would be much appreciated. I know that this is a little bit difficult since few people likely have used more than one, but knowing that someone has one that does/doesn't work well is still useful.

We have a 20'6" (6.2 meter) diameter Ash Dome, with dual shutters.

Thanks in advance for your help with this,


Eric
