Hi all,
Regarding the DIMM:
You can't move the Meade telescope to the
shutdown position remotely. It has to be done
manually. I suppose we could include a "stow
position" option in the software, but I think
it will still need to be visually inspected, so
I'm not sure if it's worth implementing.
The only reason the Meade needs to be at this
position, is that it ASSUMES it's there when it
is powered up. So, in fact, if it's too hard to
reach in the tub, there's nothing wrong with
powering it down at some other alt/az and
moving the Meade to stow position after. I'll
modify the procedures accordingly.
Thanks for the feedback!
Steph
