You guys bring up a very good point regarding documentation. I have
completed my 10 x 12 Skyshed Observatory a few months ago and designed
the structure to be completely automated and have ease of use via a
remote computer. This includes the ability to open and close the roof
via X10 remote switches and power outlets connected to a Genie
commercial garage door opener, raise and lower my telescope via Pier
Tech 2 adjustable pier and operation of the scope via ACP, MaxIM and
X10 Software.

I can observe all this happening via X10 and Orbit webcameras and I
have had a great time putting all this together and using it.

Unfortunately, I have not really documented the setup, however; I'm
going to make some changes to my website to record pictures and
procedures on what I have done. Hopefully, this will help everyone
else out there.

Regards,
Russ
