A new MacPro was gained for the project. Ubuntu 12 was installed and Stellarium and Processing runs excellent. Two video outputs are available, so enough computer resources should now be available to set up the installation.
Additionally two old eMacs could be gained from Crawford College, as they where going to dump them anyway. The screens can be used for possible instructions, webcam feeds or data visualizations.
For the projections however, only one casual projector could be gained. An Epson wide angle lens projector from Crawford College was not available. With only one projector, the preferred way of visualizing the telescope data will not be possible, so quite some work on visualization sketches in Processing cannot be used now for the project.
