I've now been able to automate the dome to the extent that all I have to do now is open up the shutters and then walk inside and control the whole box and dice from inside using Team Viewer. Once I replaced the laptop with one having a real rs232 port I found I was not getting interupts on the dome rotation using a serial2USB converter. One other thing I have noticed is that the scopes are well equilibrated to the outside temperature and that they are holding focus extremely well. Indeed the refractors last night were exactly in focus from the previous nights efforts. I'm thinking of automating the setup now using CCD Comander so that I can get into Sn patrols.
