Log
- Went through the startup procedure.
- When taking flats in SharpCap, the 2600 finder was disabled.
- We reconnected the 2600 cable.
- When we reconnected we were able to take flats. However, after taking flats SharpCap crashed and wouldn't rescan for cameras.
- Tried to point to Arcturus.
- We reconnected USB cable several times.
- When trying to point the finder at the attended object, the 2600 would fail to align when doing “Use Next Object Position”.
- We tried our to align the 2600 and was not able to take any data due to not being able to find the objects due to no alignment.
- Slewed to zenith to take darks.
- Took Darks and did closing procedure.
