Log
1. Had trouble connecting to BIGPIX, fixed by restarting data computer
2. Took flats through NINA, not bright enough to take U, so skipped that
3. Pointed using Deneb, Olivia learning scope
4. Set object position, focused finder scope
5. Sent out open scope email
6. Slewed to G-26
7. Set PHD2 gain to 33 (150/450 = 33%) (Set by clicking on brain and going to Camera)
8. Took Magnitude data on G-26
9. Slewed to M34, took tracking frames at 15.011“/s
