The Dome Goes Home.

More good work this weekend, in spite of a total power shutdown at CRC until 3PM Sunday.

Mike James, Chris Teron, Ron Tolmie and Tim Cole installed enough paneling that it was possible to permanently mount the power supply and control electronics for the dome, in the comfort of the warm room.

Chris had strung the cables into the dome earlier.

The photo shows the result of the "home" command to DDW, with the shutter just starting to close after rotating from a non-home position. On to the computers!
