Peter,
Good luck with your ROR Obs
You must be champing at the bit to get started
It’s very satisfying having your rig installed permanently, polar aligned and ready to image
One suggestion if I may , you mentioned about setting up ( I presume imaging gear only ) running an imaging session and then shutting down. This is what I do at my South Coast NexDome , however I ran 2 x Cat 5e cables ( 1 active and 1 spare ) from the house to the Dome ( approx 30m ) and this allows me to control and check on the imaging session from the house ( my study ) using Windows 10 Remote Desktop. All you need is a second lappy ( cheap one ). It works beautifully , so far no drop outs of issues in the past 18 months.
It does save walking out to the Dome , especially in the winter months and tweaking things if needed or if cloud rolls in for half an hour or so.
I don’t know how far your Obs will be from your house but you can run Cat 5e data cable up to 90m
Well worth installing it ( even if you don’t use it straight away)
Clear Skies
Martin
