Here is the status of the various AAVSOnet resources.

BSM_Berry  fully operational.

BSM_Hamren  fully operational

BSM_NH  under construction.  The enclosure is due to be completed on Thursday, and sky tests will begin shortly thereafter.

BSM_NM  fully operational, with some caveats.  The camera failed in September, and Bill Stein was gracious enough to lend AAVSOnet his personal ST-10 camera while repairs were made.  The processing of images since September has not proceeded smoothly, and will be redone again over the next week.  The original camera has been repaired and is being shipped soon.  Bill is also working on getting the roof fully automated and integrated into ACP, and is only running on very clear nights.

BSM_South  fully operational

OC61  fully operational

SRO  fully operational

TMO61  we are again having dome communication problems.  We hope to get these resolved shortly.
