Saw what may be Arcturus through the finder but could not match it with Picsarr 20:45 - Slewed to Vega. Could not confirm Vega in Picsarr 20:50 - Used Astrometry to point. Successful :) 03:44 - Light cloud cover rolled in. 03:49 - Target is no longer visible stopping observation and waiting to see if it gets better. 04:16 - Target is still not visible, went to the roof to check: thick cumulus clouds, nearly no patches of clear sky. Beginning shutdown procedures 04:19 - Shut down complete, leaving 433C =====ToDo===== =====Notes===== - Telescope slews diagonally regardless of where we are pointing in the sky =====Weather===== 20:30 - T 74, H 62% 22:30 - T 68, H 81% 00:30 - T 68, H 90% 02:30 - T 66, H 100% 04:30 =====Data===== {{tag>[picsarr]}}
