The Three Rules of Remote Operation


AMcD

Recommended Posts

Having lost an entire night of imaging last night to a faulty DEC axis, I have decided that there are three cardinal rules governing remote operation of a home observatory whilst working away:

1. Something will go wrong at some point.

2. Because we use our equipment on clear nights, it will always go wrong on a clear night.

3. If it goes wrong, there is nothing that can be done about it until the weekend.

Ce la vie  🙂

there is something weird going on that is for sure. Untouched kit locked away in an observatory that was working like clockwork before when reactivated after a spell of cloudy nights throws up all kinds of issues even though a daylight power up test was done earlier in the day.
