Some may think that I may have disappeared. This is not the case. 2011 was cursed with many issues that pretty much made the year a compete loss. Some lightning or static issue took out 3 of the primary USB hubs in the observatory and the primary computer. I had to work last year getting it all in place again. I also had to fight with Digi to RMA my hubs. I have to buy very expensive $150 USB2 hubs from them because the quality is extremely high. I run USB cables beyond USB2 specifications and have only had good luck using these hubs for reliable use. They did RMA them. I now need to finish the reinstallation on the RCOS. The FSQ has been running fine and acquiring images from late 2011 to current. Oh well, It’s a good thing the stars aren’t going anywhere very fast!
