We are now thinking of pre- session and post- session automatization.
At the moment ACP just start session with slewing to the object, change filter, autoguiding and making exposure
But we need do a lot of things before, after and in the middle of sessions


For example before session:
check if there is a session planed
check the weather
in 2 hours before session switch fans, open the dome, synchronize to telescope, open telescope covers, cool down the camera, connect all equipment to software and so on...
After session we need to revers all activities.


General question is how to make all this procedures in auto mode? CCD Commander work very well, but we can have intersections with ACP?
Maybe you have experience?
Should we keep all equipment powered?
Should we keep all applications running?
Can ACP help here or we need to develop our software?
