Another clear night on the way....

I now have to lay the 90mm PVC pipe, between the control room and observatory, to run power and Cat6 cables through and I just ordered a new telescope/dome/cameras control computer, a refurbished Dell Optiplex 9020 i7 SFF, 8G Ram, 256Gb SSD, running Windows10...should be here by the end of the week

Theeeen... it will be configuration time.... to get it all to talk and work... ....

Used the clear sky time and a map of the SCP to accurately polar align, I have the AP polar scope pointing to within 1arc min of the pole or better
