Hi Mike,
Yep, I'm now seriously looking at it. I'm extremely confident my automated equipment runs to a standard that I can now consider the next step. This has been now for over a year now.
Clive, that is part of the next phase, selecting a good sky location. It so happens the ASV has a site in Heathcote VIC, which enjoys an unusual weather phenomena where the great dividing range virtually stops the southern weather from proceeding north. Its still not the best location as seeing can be very variable, however, its only a few hours from my location and it also enjoys very dark skies.
Apart from the learning curve of the dome operation, I hope I can find a farmer who will accept the set up on their site with a reasonable amount of compensation.
Thanks guys,
Steve
