Plans are under way to build a BVRI photometer head to be used with the CB245. The Main Dome is 22 feet in diameter and constructed of plywood ribbing and aluminum skin. The warm room is located in the small enclosure behind the dome. The telescope uses a combination friction and gear drives. Plans are underway to convert the drive to a stepper drive system using Mel Bartel's software.
Motor control permits automatic centering of the autoguider on any sutiable guide star.
