How to start up observatory (no embedded images)
Check weather (outside conditions) /!\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
