The dome is out of commission again; we need to replace one of the motors. Bad luck this fall! Everything should be up and running again before spring though.

The dome slit is not opening/closing, so the 30" is out of order for the moment. It'll be fixed soon though! (Just when the decent observing weather got here, too.)

Hoping for clear weather on Saturday, maybe we can see Pluto occult a star!
