The next milestone for the Night Sky Observatory was getting power to the building. On October 23rd, RV Electric Company ran a 60-amp service line to the structure. Later that weekend, I wired up the dome lighting—installing bright white lights for general maintenance and red lights to preserve night vision during visual observing sessions.
Next is the CRM-114-S, an advanced motor, automation, and control system designed by Kendrick Astro for the SkyShed POD-S observatory. Units are finally shipping and I should be receiving mine soon.
