Great, it¡¯s on my calendar. ?Atlas will be near zenith very close to the meridian. ?Are we just observing or will you be capturing images while we observe?

Looks like next clear night will be Thursday. Lets plan on imaging Atlas. Others are welcome to observe with us. You can use same ID and Password that i will send out. Just don¡¯t touch your mouse once you connect. Your screens will be live which means any mouse clicks on active buttons will produce actions at the observatory. We can have only one lead observer ¡° driving¡± at a time.?Myron
Installed and good to go. ? Already had it installed for the SkyCam.

Glenn is correct. The diagonal allows the scope to fit in all possible aiming locations. At the end if processing just mirror reverse the image to correct it for a correct view.?
Scott you will need to install TeamViewer on your computer. Once you do i will forward the connection password.?

Nice images for a first light.
Looks to me like the diagonal is necessary for the scope to fit into the enclosure.?

Hey Myron,
? I¡¯d like to give it a go. ? Interested in trying to image C/2019 Y4 (Atlas).? Curious as to why your using a diagonal in this config?

Dear RAC,
With all of us required to stay at home until the virus runs it's course-now might be a good time to consider remote observing at MSRO-which is available at no charge to RAC members. Station 3 is now online and operational. Its the simplest station to use and an excellent way to get into remote imaging. I have enclosed some images of it, as well as the first two astrophotos taken using it. If anyone would like to try imaging-send me a reply stating your interest.
Sincerely,
Myron Wasiuta?<IMG_4391.jpg><IMG_4387.jpg><M104 combined about 35 minutes.jpg><ngc4565combined 30 minutes.jpg>
