| =====Log===== | =====Log===== | ||
| + | - Removed detectors | ||
| + | - Removed ASI 2600 from finder scope | ||
| + | - Removed ASI 432 from main scope | ||
| + | - Attached to DC in CR | ||
| + | - Started with 2600 | ||
| + | - Placed in dark box on chair and covered box with jacket | ||
| + | - Connected to SharpCap and set cooler target temp to -10 (idk if this is relative measure or C or F or K ...) | ||
| + | - Set SC Gain to 0 | ||
| + | - Set SC Brightness to 0 | ||
| + | - Mono16 FITS | ||
| + | - Took sample frame to examine header. | ||
| + | - CCD-TEMP is at -7.3C | ||
| + | - Going to wait a few more minutes and repeat to see if it decreases | ||
| + | - CCD-TEMP did get to -10C. Adjusting understanding of TargetTemp in SC (it seems to be degrees C) | ||
| + | - With gain of 0, brightness of 0, target temp at -10C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - Checked CCD-TEMP field of final frame between each set, only proceeded when reported at between -10C and -7C | ||
| + | - Lul SharpCap reports real-time temperature and target at bottom of GUI | ||
| + | - With gain of 0, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 1, brightness of 0, target temp at -10C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 1, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Opened box a bit bc cooler was struggling to keep temperature | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 5, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 10, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 50, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms, 50 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 100, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms | ||
| + | - With gain of 150, brightness of 0, target temp at 0C | ||
| + | - Took 5 frames each at 0.032ms, 0.1ms, 0.5ms, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1000ms, 5000ms, 10 000ms | ||

| + | - This took SO LONG. I need to figure out to use the sequencer in sharpCap. I saw that I could likely use the Deep Sky planner, but it only let tenths of a second stand for exposure times. This makes sense for DSO sequencing. There may be a way to get around it. ALSO I may not need this ridiculously short exposure time to suss-out the GAIN and BIAS levels. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Ran the sequencer for the ASI 432 with gain levels 0 and 25, but only the following exposure times | ||
| + | - 0.1, | ||
| + | - Saved this as calibrationTestSequence in SharpCap Folder in Z Drive. | ||
| + | - Synced Data to normal gDrive folder | ||
| + | - LEFT ASI2600 AND ASI432 in control room | ||
| + | - These will obv need to be reattached. | ||
