The electrical supply has three dedicated circuit breakers, one for the telescopes, a second for the warm room outlets and the roof motor, and the third just for the room heater and electric blanket.

| The 5' x 15' warm room is my refuge from both chill winter nights and buggy summer evenings. The room is well-insulated to prevent heat currents from interfering with imaging or observing. The computer is tied both to the telescope laptop and to the internet, so I can monitor my exposures as they appear without having to leave the warm room. I can view the scopes out of the side window if needed.

| Late at night, when my tracking, guiding, focusing, camera cooling, dew heaters, and weather are all behaving, I retire to the comfort of my Lazyboy recliner, for periodic naps. I emerge briefly from my slumber every hour, to confirm that images remain centered and in focus. | ||||||||||||||||||
