The telescope dome leaks
Please make sure it is parked (via the dome control software), or with the black marks lined up. This minimises the damage the drips can cause |
A collection of notes and guides to help you get the best of the PWT (very incomplete at the minute!)
General info
- TelescopeStartUp - Overview of telescope startup/shutdown procedures. Intended as a reminder rather than a users manual...
- PWTTourProgramme.pdf - PWT Outreach Tour Guide
- RoboticOperation - The telescope is usually run robotically. This page gives an overview of how to set up observations etc. (only available to members of PWTGroup. Contact FraserClarke to join)
Software
The telescope is now being controlled via
MaximDL run on a windows machine located in the dome. The machine is on the Physics network, and can be accessed remotely via
RemoteDesktop. See the attached PDF manual (still draft & missing sections) for more information;
Instruments
There are several instruments that can be mounted on the telescope. By default, the
ST8CCD camera is mounted.
