Hi, I'm planning out my winter astronomy activities. Would the board consider the use of SPOC for this purpose over the winter season? I don't really have a good home location to set up a scope outside and to run the scope from inside my house. Street lamps and one scope paranoid do-goody in the neighborhood are limitations. Repeaters and new blue-tooth connectors now make it possible set a scope up outside in the cold and run it from inside. But power becomes a limitation with extras like dew heaters and a heater pad for the mount. It would helpful to be able to use the center control room of SPOC and its "Henchie holes" for such winter observing. A small electric room heater (which I am happy to loan to SLAS) would bring the temperature of the center control room up to useable levels while power cords and USB cords can be run to a scope on the south or north sides of the building. - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
