1910 Installed the PICSARR Camera to the telescope
1930 Took Darks
2028 While trying to take LED calibration the Arduino is give this error “No space left on device”, once tried to install updates, then it worked we have changed the LED 6 and took LED, after that when we tried changing the LED level to 3, it is again giving us this error.
2115 The Arduino issue got solved, we have deleted the temp files in the local disk, it was the reason for the error
2125 Done Pointing the telescope
2130 The initial focus is 2623, the star is out of focus, so changed it to 2580
2140 Took beta cep capture but it is saving in the desktop, later changed the saving location to Z:\PICSARR\REV03. So we had to take beta cep capture again
2159 Started Capturing Beta cep
2226 Started capturing HD 154445
2246 Started capturing ALpha Lac
2307 Started capturing Beta cep twice 2(4×4)
2347 Started capturing Phi Cas
0044 Started dropping frames (1596 frames) redoing capture
0222 Clouds in capture
0255 Skip Phi Cas due to cloud cover and not visible at 12ms, went to Alpha Lac
