The RASC-KC roboscope project has been in the works for a few years and has run into technical stumbling blocks too numerous to list.
So we have dismantled the telescope, camera and accessories and sent them off to Winchester to try again. We hope to actually have this roboscope up and running for the RASC-KC centre’s 50th anniversary in 2011.
The robodome (the white object on the left) will remain until the spring thaw at which point it will be dismantled and transported to Winchester as well.
