Log

  1. startup complete
  2. Phys 450 HW
  3. every time the exposure time was dropped past 300 ms for taking flats, sharpcap crashed
  4. Whenever restarting sharp carp, keep getting “the capture profile could not be loaded correctly. See the log for more details.” When we checked log for more details, we basically think its trying to send too much data and crashing. Saved the log to the same directory as tonight's sharpcap.
  5. then looked at extinction star, along with other TOO.
  6. then took darks and flats
  7. completed shut down
