Goals

  • Clean-up data on DC/External SSD/gDrive
  • Take frames for tracking
  • Take frames for seeing
  • Run through process for determining limiting magnitude
  • Attach PICSARR to scope @1820, then nvm scrub @1907, then nvm still scrubbed @1930

Log

  1. Data Clean-Up
    1. Confirmed all D-Drive data on DC was synced to GoogleDrive.
    2. Removed all D-Drive data on DC
    3. Renamed D-Drive HDD-Drive
  2. Normal Start-Up Procedure
  3. Pointed at Vega
  4. Moved to M15 to collect tracking frames
    1. Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042“/s and collected 10 frames with main scope without autoguiding
    2. Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042”/s and collected 10 frames with finder without autoguiding
    3. Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042“/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
    4. Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.009”/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
    5. Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.011“/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
  5. Moved to HD 222603 and took 3x light frames
  6. Moved to HD 41927 and took 3x light frames
  7. Moved to HD 7927 and stepped through smart histogram tool outlined by Eileen
