Over the weekend of 4-6 December the release version of the telescope software was accepted.
All requisite functions are now in place and tested.
Electrical upgrades to building were completed 25 November 1998. We will start accepting requests for direct imaging only on 15 December. No planets for now - this will take neutral density filters, on the fly position calculations, and potentially tracking rate modifications. Comets take modified tracking rates which we have not yet implemented though we do have the capability in the telescope software. Thus, no comets yet.
