Log

  1. Opened dome at 1515
  2. Turned-on exhaust fan
  3. Attached 432 to UVBRI Filter Wheel to Instrument Rotator to GAM-lite
  4. Taped Icron LED lights up and taped gap above instrument rotator (see picture)
  5. Choosing not to North-align to favor collection of sky flats
  6. Set focus to 1907.4, which was the optimal focus arrived at on 20231117
  7. Took flats while sun was setting, had to move towards west because of moving object in frames
