Are there open source software platforms used for industrial processes? Can I download software to control a refinery, brewery, car plant? With the interest in digital twins, would not be terribly surprising if I could simulate pretty complicated processes.

#23Excellent. Now all I needs is my own observatory. Oh, and the land in a location worthy of building that observatory. That's said only half jokingly. I already have my mount, a primary scope, a second scope for guiding, and a camera. So it is something a boy dreams about doing when he grows up.
You'd be surprised what you can see under light pollutes skies. Especially in narrowband. I built an observatory in a bortle 7 and I get plenty of good data. Link in profile if you wanna see my work

Nice shots! Do you have any information posted about your observatory build and specs?
Come to learn how I did it, stay for the drama of getting swindled by nexdome lol

I ran a build thread on cloudy nights while making it: https://www.cloudynights.com/forums/topic/895712-build-threa... Come to learn how I did it, stay for the drama of getting swindled by nexdome lol

Something I found funny during the entire saga, I'd have expected to see a fully built shed that was started/completed after the dome started but before it finished. You know, as the icing on the cake!
