Sähköt torniin
05/08/2008 (19:19) by Petri KehusmaaTänään valmistui tornin sähkötyöt ja sisällä on nyt kaksi 16 A:n sekä kaksi 10 A:n pistoketta. Koko viime talven tornin laitteet saivat sähköt roikalla, mutta nyt se on kelattu rullalle.

This nebula is very hard to image at these latitudes where it rise only about 15 degrees above horizon and summer night skies are still very pale. Anyway, I gave it a try and somehow succeeded to have even colors. The blue channel images were almost unusable but I managed to get something out of them. Imaged with 8″ SCT and STL-11000. Total exposure 160 minutes.
With Mr. Paul Boltwood’s kind help, I was able to repair the cloud sensor myself. There was a tiny piece of insulator which had failed and replacing it with a new one solved the issue
I will add a more detailed story later.
This morning the Cloud Sensor adaptor box went dead without warning. I’m investigating the reason and have already contacted Cyanogen about my problem. Cloud Sensor II graphics will be off-line too until this issue is solved
Update: I ran all the tests suggested in Cloud Sensor manual and found the root cause. Unfortunately it seem to be the sensor itself and that means sending it over to Canada
It’s going to take a loooong time before I’m back online with it.
Summer has taken over and night skies are lightening up again. So, it’s time to take this mandatory break and continue again on august.
