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