Update
We are currently conducting trials of the automated opening and close of the roof. All is going well so far and we anticipate that very shortly we will be open for business.
Essentially, the big roof opens at dusk and closes at dawn via command from the weather sensor that it is unsafe for the roof to be open during daylight hours. The roof will also close upon weather abort data. Once the weather abort conditions have passed (sometimes hours, sometimes minutes) the roof will reopen again. Clients will be able to access the weather data and script their equipment to respond to that data. This will ensure that they can image after a weather abort and be assured that the roof will be open when the data says it is clear.
So stay tuned for our announcement that we are open for business.
