  • Multiple A/D Channels
  • Image and Guide While Downloading
  • Internal and External Self-Guiding (with Remote Head)
  • Simultaneous Dual CCD Guiding
  • Differential Guiding
  • Continuous Guiding During Autograb
  • Adaptive Optics Control with Internal or External Guider
  • -50 degrees C Delta Cooling with Air Only
  • Water Cooling Ready
  • Even-illumination Mechanical Shutter
  • Gas Purge Valve on CCD Chamber
  • User Rechargeable Desiccant Plug
  • Variable Speed Fan Control
  • Focus Mechanism for Tracking CCD
  • Opto-isolated Relays for Telescope Control
Doh! *I* Better hit the gong before its too late
Wha?..all that and STILL only 50degC cooling? Ah sigh...we still gotta get out the buckets and pumps and tubes and fumble in the dark :rofl :
