North Dome Fully Functional

This morning I built up a switch box with 12V display meter to bolt onto the 12V 20A PSU for the dome rotator. All wired up – taken out to the observatory – connected up to the dome rotator black box – powered up – AND – everything worked perfectly 🙂 So I am now ready for this season’s imaging once the interfering Moon has moved on.

Thank you Tom How and Peter Dossett for tracking down the fault with the dome rotator – I am all ready for some imaging again 🙂 What I would like to get immediately (Moon and weather permitting) is a 3 frame mosaic using the 200mm lenses covering the whole of the constellation Sagitta (plus M71) AND the Coathanger Cluster. Should make a great image if I can capture it.
