Hi Jeff,

it seems that there are quite a few things that need fixing - cabling, the OAG broke off, the camera is not responding anymore on the USB bus - so for now I fear it's gonna be september before it can be fixed.

Good day, Lukas .... thank you very much for your update.
Roger that ...

Hello again Lukas .... now that we are starting to get into October ... is there any further update to the Hakos 360 situation ?
Thank you, again, in advance.

Regrettably not. It might happen that the system will not come online again, there is plenty of upgrades needed to get it back online...

Roger that, Lukas ... might not come online again ... dang?
OK, will look for another appealing target with another rig.
Thanks again

That is regrettable. Hopefully there will be another system in the Southern hemisphere with photometric filters that will come online.

MikeF We are currently concentrated on fixing the TI450. Turns out the secondary holder was not stiff, causing decollimation... The whole part is back in Italy now for repair. I honestly have no idea by when that system could come back online. Once it is, one option would be to add some photometric filters to that to have an option...
