Early last year Gavin Boyle posted on the ARAS group that he was setting up in Siding Spring. We've been unable to contact him and have seen no follow-up.
Is anyone aware of Gavin and this project????
This is the message posted:
I'm afraid that I have broken the rules of complexity but as a result have an interesting set up that I can control remotely.
The rig is a 20"/0.5m RCOS at Siding Springs in Australia and is equipped with an eShel which seems now to be up and running thanks to the guys at Shelyak and Olivier Garde.
This same scope also has an FLI16803 with many filters (at F8.1), an FLI colour ML8300 (F6.7) and an ASI174 for planetary work at F32 all thanks to a 4- port selector. Itelescope host the equipment for me.
I am a near total beginner as far as spectroscopy is concerned and would welcome the chance to partner in some studies with more experienced eShel users who might like access to southern sky data. My view to this he north is restricted to above 60 degrees but is otherwise fine.
