Hi, The training has gone well. Below is the document I’ve used to train the users on the operation of their observatory. I tried to attach the PDF of the document, but that did not work out. If you are interested I can email you a copy.
I also have the new owners log on to my system to get them use to the process.
So far the new owners are very happy how easy it is to use compared with their system.

Using the PRO control PC to Image at CSV remotely
You will be using a Master Drag Script that was created for the Personal Remote Observatory.
This script handles the operation of the PRO.
The Sequence Configuration under the On the Fly tab of Voyager has be used to define targets to capture with Voyager.
You will be editing a predefined sequence that is set up for CSV. The sub’s are 120 sec long.
