Session Aims & Highlights (2022-10-26)

Main aims

  1. AstroMain.  Check new AstroMain version (3.56.4) for any issues introduced by recent changes and additions.
  2. Targets.  Acquire images of a selection of variable stars, nearby stars, comets & deep sky targets as allowed by sky conditions.
  3. Zigbee Network: Conduct second live session test using newly introduced Zigbee Network. Check for any issues. Identify any improvements.
  4. Observatory Alarms.  Check out use of Chrome/Chromecast to send audio messages and alarms through to Google Home speaker. .
