Chronos operational

The new Chronos HD32 mount is now operational. Once a guide scope is attached we will release it for student use in the coming weeks. See Tim for more details.

Shed update

New metal stops have been welded into the shed track. They should prevent you from ramming into the gable but please still use caution and remember: roof first, gable second.

Also, note that both 3 & 4 use extensive modeling now and no longer require SYNC. Pier 2 has been upgrade and can take advantage of the SYNC feature and should be used as often as every star-hop.

Shed roof rebuilt

The shed roof has been rebuilt and will require a slightly different procedure.  See Shed Roof under Documentation section.  

Syncing

(info) Note to all users:  Do not sync piers 3 or 4!  If you do by accident please let Tim know.  THX!
