Introduction
Project to automate the Macquarie University Observatory for remote access.
Details
AIM:
We want:
1) A remote astronomer to be able to open and rotate the domes, calibrate and point the telescopes, track with the telescopes, change the filters, and adjust the focus etc etc all from a remote location.
2) A means to do all this automatically from a script.
3) The ability to upload observing scripts and see the observatory status from a browser. More detailed observatory control doesn't have to necessarily be brower-based.
Just a quick temporary page.
