Log

  1. Percy, Roy, and Connor took new C8 and Solar Telescope on da roof
  2. Connected 2600 cables to 2600
  3. Opening Procedures
  4. Took Flat frames on 432MM using N.I.N.A.
  5. Slewed to HD 70272 for seeing frames
  6. Slewed to M44 for tracking frames
  7. Slewed to HD 143454 for Roy
  8. Slewed to M64 for pretty frames
  9. Began working on sling setup
  10. Took darks for the pretty frames and for the flats
  11. Closed up
