Mounting the Renishaw Encoder Rings One critical milestone for assembling the Kepler Remote telescope are the absolute encoders and their mounting on the fork mount. keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/11/07/tec… #KeplerRemote #observatory #telescope #astronomy #astronomie #DIY #engineering

@Obs4Schools Yes, you are right, we are currently investigating some additional counter measures to keep the spindrift snow as good as possible outside the Observatory. The cold and long nights in the winter are the best for observing - so we do all we can to be able to use these nights.

Securing the Dome from Snow Last winter we observed that our dome lets very fine snow particles inside. Here is what we did to stop that! keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/11/04/und… #observatory #astronomy #astronomyclub #hardware #DIY #KeplerRemote #telescope #HoheDirn #tech #engineering

Finally our servers for the telescope arrived. Now we can port the already set up environment from a PC to a "real" Server. keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/08/05/tec… #observatory #astronomy #hardware #electronics #KeplerRemote #StarparkHoheDirn #server #serverroom #Innovation #Linux #computing

After the rather strong winter at our observatory site, the weather got fine and we could continue with the work at the observatory. keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/und… #astronomy #astronomie #electrician #electricalwork #hardware #DIY #KeplerRemote #StarparkHoheDirn #HoheDirn

After we got the telescope body back from sandblasting and painting we were ready for the first test fit. keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/07/25/tec… #observatory #telescopes #telescope #astronomy #astronomie #starpark #starparkHoheDirn #DIY #engineering #tech #technology

Since we dismantled the telescope for technical enhancement, we also took the opportunity to repaint it. keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/07/22/tec… #observatory #telescopes #telescope #astronomy #astronomie #starpark #starparkHoheDirn #DIY #engineering #tech #technology

Another Step necessary for remote operation is having a motorized mirror cover, our first prototype is mechanically working. Time to start working on the electric part! keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/03/11/tec… #HoheDirn #KeplerRemote #astronomy #astronomie #tech #telescope #engineering

Due to the lovely winter in Austria the access to Hohe Dirn was limited, so we focused our attention on a complete overhauls of the telescope. First was the deconstruction: keplerremote.wordpress.com/2019/03/07/tec… #Austria #HoheDirn #KeplerRemote #astronomy #astronomie #tech #snow #winter

There has been no update for to long and we are sorry for that. A lot has happened since December, so you are in for some interesting news and of course pretty pictures, like the following made by Rudi Dobesberger from the Sternfreunde Steyr. There was a lot of snow at Hohe Dirn!
