Roll Off Roof Motor Kit

AstroworX Roll-Off Roof Observatory Kit

Smart automation. Precision engineering. Reliable performance.

The AstroworX Roll-Off Roof Observatory Kit combines intelligent automation and solid design in one complete package. It turns any observatory into a fully automated, weather-aware system.

Powered by the Starling Observatory Control System, the kit allows seamless roof operation, remote access, and environmental safety monitoring. This gives you full control over your observatory from anywhere in the world.

Integrated with the CloudWatcher Solo by Lunático, the system offers continuous, low-power weather monitoring through its built-in web server. Designed to work 24/7, the Solo keeps your observatory safe by automatically detecting changing conditions and triggering roof closure when necessary.

Mechanical precision is standard, featuring a high-torque motor, durable gearbox, helical rack, and limit switches that ensure smooth, reliable roof movement in all conditions. An anemometer adds real-time wind monitoring for extra protection and performance insight.

Built for schools, universities, research institutions, and private observatories, the AstroworX Roll-Off Roof Kit provides a complete automation solution. It combines reliability, innovation, and smart control in one streamlined system.
