SkyAlert

SkyAlert integration plans include:


I'm only in monitoring mode right now.


I have multiple modes planned:

open/close mode  - In this mode it will suspend everything and close up until it determines that it is not very cloudy anymore for a period of time.  When this happens, it will open the dome and slide the sled off and resume imaging where it left off.  Kind of like "Relentless mode".

close mode - When very cloudy conditions are detected, it will shutdown and close it all up.


     Monitoring for very cloudy conditions

          When detected, it will:

          1. Slide the sled closed

          2. Close the dome

          3. Either suspend imaging or gracefully terminate imaging
