Remote Observatory Operations- All activies are controlled via "Desktop Remote" from inside the house. Voyager controls all imaging activies. Voyager + SkyRoof controls the motorized roof at the end of a run or when bad weather sets in, to close the roof. Voyager aids in auto startup and shutdown of all programs, equipment and lighting. Having three monitors is really great for staying on top of everything that's going on! |
