BSM_Berry is fully operational.
BSM_Hamren has returned to operations, now that the sensor has been cleaned.
BSM_HQ is being shut down and moved from Headquarters. It will return to life this Fall in New Hampshire.
BSM_NM has returned to operations. During the summer, Dick Post and Bill Stein replaced the mount with a loaned Paramount ME. This should improve imaging efficiency. The monsoon is still affecting operations. In typical years, about half of the nights in September are useful.
BSM_S is fully operational.
SRO and TMO61 are still shut down for the monsoon, but should be back in operation within a week or two.
OC61 has been running well, but now has a stuck focuser. We hope to get it back on-line next week.
