======Blog Example====== =====Time===== 1800-0600 =====Attendance===== ES: Braydn and Percy GS: Sam and Tara =====Spaces Occupied===== PHYS 401, 433C =====Goals===== 1. Misc Request:Take set of 10 frames in V of m35\\ 2. Misc Request:Continually take sets of 10 frames in v filter of ad Leo with 30 seconds between each set until need to start prepping for exoplanet observing plan \\ 3. Exoplanet Observing Plan: By 23:00 start taking continual sets of 2 frames in V staggered by 60s of Hat-P-12 until 02:00 \\ =====Equipment Used===== ^ Scope ^ Camera ^ Focus ^ |Main|ASI 2600|2069.7| |Finder|ASI 432|n/a| =====Frame Table===== ^ Time Observed ^ Source Name ^ Filter ^ Int Time [s] ^ Gain ^ Airmass ^ Mag ^ RA [h] ^ DEC [deg] ^ Source Type ^Scope ^ Purpose ^ Notes^ | YYYYmmddTHHMM | Object | Filter | time | gain | airmass | mag | HH | DD | type | Scope | Purpose | tracking?
