Geoff, Peter, Lewis, Suavi, Marc,

Thanks so much for the encouragement.

Much needed at the moment, because the dome lower shutter control mechanism has gone stupid, and is trying to tear the thing to pieces. Luckily I was there at the time and nothing bad happened but it cannot be used unattended. And in the black-painted dome interior, it's a choice of pitch dark up there even with the light on, or if you open the door, freezing! No more astrophotography from us till I sort it. Got the circuit diagrams out.

Best,
Mike
