Ad Astra Observatory

I gave Takahashi America a week off of NJP updates. When I called them today for an update, they said that the part that’s in Japan is complete and in transit back to Texas. He said that he expected it back “in a week and a half”. Yikes.

Anyhow, he said that the Chief Engineer was the one who’d removed the RA axis, and he’d make sure it got reinstalled when it came in, then move on to the rest of the repairs on the mount before shipping it back to me.

I guess I’ll give them another week off and check in sometime the week after that.
