Thanks Scott:

Things have gone well with the dome. The shutter is operating very well and the rotation is great other than the noise. Some of the real tough stuff still remains.

The local computer is running the mount but it is not slaving the dome yet. With the new upgrades that should come easier than with the old Ver.3 and the old DDW program that came with the dome.

The C-8......small potatoes actually I guess. I can get things working better there when time allows.

Thanks again.
