2013

Fall
Work has started again in earnest on Raemor Vista. A decision was made to temporarily install a small wide field camera to expand the transit search capability. A Maxdome control system was installed, lights, webcams, network wiring and a Bisque Paramount MEII. An Apogee large 4kx4k CCD chip is on order for delivery early 2014. This new camera behind a 300mm telephoto camera lens promises a huge field of view with hundreds of stars available to watch for transits. First light on the system expected early 2014.
