Hi Guys,
Been a long time between posts for me but this is what has kept me busy.
ARO is a joing venture project including one other person and will house two remote observatories.
First stage of the ARO (Arkaroola Remote Observatory) observatory is now completed.
This is a 3m ScopeDome housing a TAK FSQ106EDXIII on a PME mount, remotely controlled via satellite broadband and powered by solar power.
Second stage will include a second 3m ScopeDome with a 20" CDK.
This project has been 12 months in the making and has finally reached operational stage. First light is scheduled for the end of this month maybe earlier
Actual build time was less than two weeks, spread over two trips. Planning and testing was the remainder.
Enjoy!
Cheers
Mark
