Amplifiers

Most of the work has been completed in preparation for the new alt/az amplifiers for the telescope, and their installation was planned for October, but when looking at exactly how it would interface to the TCS it was decided it would be safer to incorporate some better isolation between the amplifier power and the TCS power lines. This has resulted a some changes in the design that have already been defined but still needs implementing. A general software switch has been made in the TCS which will allow to simply switch from the old to the new system.
