I checked one by one each circuit breaker to see which circuits were effected when turned off. This was to check the accuracy of the chart. I found the chart to be mostly accurate. Noted however that the line conditioner on the “computer” circuit no longer served it’s purpose as the only outlet it serviced was no longer used for the computers. The socket that it it plugged into is supposed to be independantly grounded. I will have to pull off the plate and check if that is so.
I repaired the outdoor spot light fixture and made adjustments to the lamps aim. I extracted the remains of a broken bulb and removed one good 100 watt spotlight. I then installed in both sockets a 50 watt red spotlight. Tested and found working.
Mark removed the optic train from the back of the telescope. He brought everything down to the office to dismantle. Once apart he laid out the pieces and took photos. Our plan is to try using a focal reducer to bring the telescope to f6.8.
