Robotic Telescope Control
Granby Ridge robotic telescope control system provides remote access to all
telescope peripherals including focusers, heaters, temp sensors, cameras,
rs-232 devices and mount control. Core functions are controlled by the CPU
driven Telescope Super Controller (TSC). The TSC provides connectivity and
communications to all devices at the mount via a single data connection. In
conjunction with auxiliary sensors and OTA thermal stabilization
accessories. Portable or fixed mounts may be reliably operated from local or
a remote locations.
