Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the "older" rotation/shutter kits (I got my NexDome back in Dec of 2020) to the new system? Or is it a complete new purchase? Thanks!

Pete Mumbower, I finally got the shutter and rotator installed yesterday morning and have to say the redesigned offset track with the metal sprocket are better than the old design. My only complaint is the mounting 2nd hole on the tract did not align with my connector on the dome, so I had to drill out the hole to get the screw in. Firmware update worked well with no hitches. This is the first time in over a year that the shutter has worked without stalling or skipping.
I am disappointed that the Beaver Dome Control interface isn't as informative as the version 3 ASCOM interface. Hopefully that will be corrected in a future update.
