Cuttin’ Edge Observatory

 

CEO is still alive

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!
