Notes
In observing plan, One calibration target is labeled as HD 15445. However, this is significantly below the horizon-we believe that HD 154445 might have been the intended target as it has been labeled in previous sessions 20250509 obs session
In reminders for the plan, it says that high pol standards should be taken with 15 rotations at 600ms, but the observing plan table below says to take 12 rotations. Decided on taking them at 15 rotations, assuming that it is better to have too many rotations than not enough.
At 2, TON 599 was getting to below the altitude limit before the 3 sets of 10 rotations could be finished for the second instance. Observing plan was continued omitting TON 599 captures.
At around 3:45, telescope stopped responding to movement commands and software had to be restarted.
Observing plan table was completed up to the first set for HD 154445, with an additional set of 10 rotations taken for AM Her.
Power controller website couldn't be reached when attempting to connect. Produces error message saying took too long to respond.
ASI2600 put back on main telescope. Focus changed to 2100.
