1) Our mono imager is in the final stages of being configured, allowing for SHO narrowband imaging in the Hubble palette from September onwards, with a goal to expand the filter wheel for full LRGB and photometry in the future

2) We've set up a piggybacked RedCat 51 for widefield imaging in parallel with our main newtonian imager
3) We've got autofocus motors on both the main newtonian and secondary widefield imaging trains
4) We're modifying the newtonian OTA with Black 2.0 superblack matte paint and ThorLabs optical flocking to eliminate stray light and produce cleaner, flatter data
5) We're aiming to be semi-permanent by the Spring with a longer term goal to finalise a fully permanent roll-off-roof observatory as soon as possible afterwards
Semi-permanance is being achieved via a concrete pier being planned now we've confirmed our final location
