Richardson sent out a person yesterday to start on the servo, and I am happy to report that the telescope is now moving under it's own power. As you can guess, there are some issues. The biggest one is that we can only hit 80% of the spec velocity in elevation. This could be due to a number of things, like imbalance or excess force on the friction drive, but more on that later. I want to get Dave to make a movie with his new camera.
On another note, Nathan showed up also, and Dave is hoping that I will focus on him for comic relief.
