O'Mara refurbishment - Part 2

Another meeting today, kinda impromptu, but worth it. Seems all involved are extremely eager to get this project live now, and I don't mean next month, I mean now.

As it turns out, our refurbishment is just the start. Once running we're going to be part of an international project to share telescopes around the world. Let's say for example you are in the UK and would like to see the southern skies - you connect to our telescope and away you go. Discussions have also led to the possibility of doing solar viewing as well.

Preliminary research has us deciding on software, Astronomer's Control Panel.

So, now we wait. Politics plays a part at first. We just have to wait for the documentation to go through and away we go.
