Data Cables

Under the office, waiting for a hole above

All but the network line (Cat5) run to my office.  From pier to desk is about 55'.  Leaving room at each end, I figured 75' wire lengths would be great.

• JMI focuser cable - full time splitter on dome wall for office or dome use.  
• 4 RS-232 lines - all switch split for office and dome use
  • scope - 2 port proprietary wiring, split apart on common side of harness
  • dome
  • 1 spare - coiled in floor
• high end Parallel cable for SBIG camera (purchased 75' ready made from Software Bisque) - switched splitter on pier for office or dome use.
• CAT5 from dome computer area to central hub
• video - perhaps video astronomy or dome interior monitor.  Coiled in floor for now.
• 2 low voltage doorbell pairs - I may want direct control of a couple of relays.  Coiled in floor for now.

COM Ports

Lighting

Red and white lights on dimmers.  The dome flats light is remotely controlled.  All of these lights will be 12 VDC.  I need 12 VDC for other things, and automotive lighting technology will be smaller, generate less heat, and be safer.

Power

• A separate 120VAC circuit with ground fault protection
  • switchable power strip on pier
  • switchable power strip in computer cubby
• Special purpose AC adapters for the dome and on the pier for scope, and camera
• General purpose 12 VDC system for dew heater,  lights, and other.  Much astronomy gear is 12 VDC.

Temperature management

Heating will be accomplished with a tarp over the scope and a 25 watt bulb.  The CCD camera will be brought in the house during the long winter months.

Cooling will be managed via the white paint, and opening the dome long prior to observing.  I may keep a fan just inside the door if it looks like I need to exhaust a lot of heat.
