Log

  1. Showed Sam, Jordan, and Vianne dome startup procedures
  2. Replaced old clevis pin on North mirror door with new one
    1. Noticed South and East mirror door pins were nearly coming out
  3. Took Sky Flats (realized mirror doors were still closed)
    1. Restarted, only got U flats from sky
    2. Plan to take sheet flats at end of night
  4. Struggled to point
    1. Slewed to Jupiter, Polaris, and Sirius
    2. Eyeballed from dome to find Sirius
  5. Took Magnitude frames
  6. Took Seeing Data
  7. Took Tracking Data
  8. Jordan got NAS set up (yay!)
  9. Found Tiger's Eye Nebula (NGC 2841) and took pretty frames
  10. Took Flats in BVR (Not enough I to get flats in a reasonable time)
  11. Shut Down Procedures
    1. TheSky6 zenith did not translate to actual zenith
    2. Slewing to zenith in DFMTCS DID agree with where zenith is
    3. Slewed to zenith using DFMTCS, TheSky6 shows scope pointing slightly west
