If used with our height adjustable piers or for example, then you will also be able to raise or lower the pier as part of your observing session automation routine. The Cloud Sensor can execute an automated routine consisting of park (move) telescope to its safe stored position, close roof or open roof, all with feedback from the roof position limit switches and the mount parked switch. The controller hosts stored configuration settings and a microprocessor that can automatically open or close the observatory at a specific time or signal (for example Cloud Sensor and/or SBIG Seeing Monitor) enabling unattended-automated control of your roll off roof observatory without the need of a local PC or Server. Now check out Getting Started.This new software and hardware package boasts many features not found in other observatory automation packages.
For information on the VOEvent Receiver and GRB followup, see Transient Astronomy With ACP Scheduler. For detailed information on the theory of operation and other internals of ACP Scheduler see Dispatch Scheduling of Automated Telescopes. Only a few one-of-a-kind custom systems developed for the largest observatories are comparable, and they cost hundreds of times as much to develop.ĭiscussions with the developers and other Scheduler users are on the DC-3 Dreams Communication Center.
If one of interest (customizable) arrives, it can generate an observing request, interrupt the scheduler, and have the observations taken right then.Ĭombined with ACP Observatory Control Software, ACP Expert Scheduler makes up the most sophisticated observatory control system available commercially. The VOEvent Receiver connects to the VOEvent network and listens for alerts on transient events. There are also several web accessible request submission forms, as well as a web-accessible Scheduler Browser. The browser is a general purpose editor for observing requests in the Scheduler's relational database. It does all the work of sending observing requests to ACP Observatory Control Software. The heart of the package is the Expert Scheduler. Welcome to ACP Expert Scheduler! It consists of three programs: the Schedule Browser, the Scheduler itself, and the VOEvent Receiver.
