Log
Had some issues connecting to the 2600 worked after reseated connections in both dome and control room icrons
pointed at Jupiter
slewed to m35
slewed to ad leo
2600 kept disconnecting without dropping frames every 3 minutes
set up system so that sharpcap would take 10 frames every 30s 4 times as that leaves 10 or so seconds before it disconnects and can start again
slewed to Hat-12-P set up system so that sharpcap would take 2 10s frames with a minute interval between the next set of 2 frames. Camera disconnects 10s after 2nd series of frames finishes
Camera disconnecting change to be around 2min intervals.
ToDo
transit of star starts at 2245
