Swan, back after a long break.
We've spent the year completely rebuilding all the observatory electronics to use 5 Arduinos to do all the bare metal real time control, and completely rewriting 400 files worth of user interface and camera control in C#. We've also replaced the camera with a new FLI PL16803 which is proving superb.
This very short (30 min) H-alpha phoenix, or firebird, is our very nervous first light.
