It has taken a while but as far as basic functionality the observatory is back up. I was able to manually use each piece of equipment late last week and it took this week to get everyone to play well together using the automation software that I use.

I still have to bring up the occultation system and check out the lunar, planetary and solar (LPS) imaging system. The software for LPS shares a third computer that is primarily dedicated to supporting the SkySentinel meteor system. The SkySentinel software is quite old and does not like sharing USB with other cameras. I have to turn off the meteor camera while imaging the Moon or planets. Once everything settles down, I plan on migrating the LPS capability to the primary computer.

So, first thing this evening (Aug 23) will be to check in on T CrB.
