Singularity Observatory is Prepping its Two Prized Telescopes

The key feature this year is prepping both prized telescopes for more complete remote function. The idea is to control all aspects of the telescopes from indoor comfort, avoiding mosquitoes, heat, and humidity. It also allows for telescope setup and no need to go through extensive recalibration each time. This year, the addition of a remote controlled motor focus in in the works. This will supplement telescope control, positioning and GOTO with WiFi, enabling more effective lunar and planetary imaging, and the introduction of deep sky work.
