Its goal is to create a complete observatory control system, starting from weather sensing, through device control to observation execution and scheduling. The system is meant to provide you with an autonomous, independent observatory, protected from the elements. It provides the means to execute complex observational scenarios, to ensure the pointing and focus are good, and to handle TOO reaction, logging, dat… text/html 2010-05-10T18:33:06+02:00 Petr Kubánek http://rts2.org/wiki/hw:zelio?rev=1273509186&do=diff Zelio Logic roof module This is a roof module for Zelio Logic. To view and use it, you need to download Schneider Zelio logic editor. The editor runs under Linux on Wine - ask me for details if you cannot get it running. The programme is designed for clam shell type roof with two halfs opening and closing, four end -of-path sensors and two motors. If your needs are different, please either help yourself or contact Petr Kubanek with questions.

It allows the system to detect the presence of a cloud cover, and up to some extent, supplement the information of observing conditions when the clouds are absent. text/html 2010-03-28T15:41:47+02:00 Jakub Kákona http://rts2.org/wiki/hw:start?rev=1269783707&do=diff Mounts * EPICS based mounts, particularly CAHA 1.23m (driver is close-source, EPICS connection is public) * Meade and LX200 variants * Losmandy GoTo systems (with Gemini LX200) * Software Bisque's Paramount ME * Millennium Mount with Dynostar X3 * Pi 4 and NTM mounts * ProjectSoft ASCOL protocol (close-source) * MDM custom protocol (read-only for telescope movement; close-source) * Astro-Physics GTO GTOCP2 (GTOCP3) * Customs drivers, including modelling capability * Any t… text/html 2010-03-26T02:35:13+02:00 Jan Štrobl http://rts2.org/wiki/skycat?rev=1269567313&do=diff This document is ment as a simple howto for installing ESO SkyCat Tool on Debian and Ubuntu systems.

All devices listed here are fully supported and integrated into RTS2. This list expressed our experiences - it is possible better solutions are available, but we haven't found them yet. If you find one, please let us know.
