How to start up observatory (no embedded images)
Check weather (outside conditions)
![/!\](/moin_static1911/modernized/img/alert.png "/!\")
use common sense Log on to control PC via VNC skydome.mpe.mpg.de port 5200
1st check if mount handpad program and focuser program are running and connected to mount and focuser respectively.
- This should usally be the case.
- If not start the programs and try to connect.
- If they are not started, and cannot connect, then start up windows internet explorer.
Then Log on to ePower #1 and check if focuser and mount are powered on ePower #1.
Power up the focuser if necessary and check that the focuser control program is running and connected.
Power up mount if necessery:
switch on power supply on ePower #1 if not yet powered up. Normally it should be on.
then toggle mount switch both on ePower #1 if not yet powered up.
checked if Mount handpad control program connects properly.
Power up imager/s on ePower #1 if not yet powered up. Normally it should be off on starting up.
- open dome

How to start up GOWI
- cool imager to target temperature (-30C typically)
- start dark and bias frame sequence
- set focuser to expected setting for the night (if known)
take skyflats until start of actual observations
