Remote astronomy and CCD imaging at the Elk Creek Observatory in Holton, Kansas. My website to access the telescope is http://www.elkcreekobservatory.org. Go do the bottom link. I have all of the remote hardware installed for dome control and now working on integrating the software to ACP. Please email me to request time. I will give you a username and password. I’m going to do some testing before I release it to the world. Hopefully, if funding goes through, I will also have a Meade LX200 GPS 16″ up and ready to go by November.
