 ===== Dome structure ======
 The observatory was designed by the M3 corporation, and  the original drawings of the dome are {{ :scope:dome:docs:m3_design.pdf | here}}. The dome is a 16-foot [[https://observatorysolutions.com/ash-dome-observatory/?gclid=CjwKCAiA1-6sBhAoEiwArqlGPu6jl4WD9ubnwKYwX6UCGSlKetIbs4mB43Zrvg02awQhgvUIrgWLchoC9D8QAvD_BwE|Ash-Dome]].
+===== Observatory Control System ======
 The dome has motorized upper and lower slit sections. Control of the upper slit and dome rotation is done through a custom relay box on the S side of the dome constructed by the Autoscope Corporation; the lower slit is controlled through a box on the N side, designed and constructed by Dave Woods. There is a manual/automatic toggle to allow dome control either through switches on the side of the boxes, or via remote control. Relays to control the dome motors are 24V relays and are activated by setting input control lines to ground. The 24V power is supplied externally.
