High Voltage Supply:

We plan to use a modular commercial high voltage supply where each PMT has a separately programmable high voltage. These are used to adjust the PMT gains and to reduce the current draw when a bright star image falls directly on a specific PMT. The high voltage is supplied by cables attached to each PMT from a system crate which is carried on each telescope. Commands to each telescope system are sent from the central station.
