- Changed the internal IP addresses (made a mistake before)
- Changed the Web Power Switch port forwarding to port 80 - somehow https didn't work
- Downloaded and installed the MGBox Ascom driver, so that we can use the MGBox as an Environment device on our imaging software
- Checked where we got focus on the main scope: the focuser was 30% out!!! We could replace the 0.5" spacer with a 0.25" spacer to move the focus to 55%. But decided that this is good enough. If it gets colder, the scope will contract (though not a lot) and we will need to move the focuser further out. So, we shouldn't have a problem.
- Covered all the remaining lights
- Labeled all cables and ports
- Downloaded Dimension4 to have correct time on the NUC
- Configured the MGBox such that it sends Meteo (but NOT GPS) data to the mount
- Set output of the MGPBox (in the MGBox software) to Ascom
Astrophotography combines some of my major passions in life: mathematics, astronomy, computers ... and buying gadgets!
