Log
0058 finished darks going into the dome to reconnect the led to the Picsarr.
0101 the Arduino can not connect the the led for Picsarr. Going into the dome to make sure it is plugged in.
0109 the red usbc cable and the power cable were not plugged into the circuit board.
0131 plate solving to check we are where we think we are which is pointing at iota her. 0135 We are pointing correctly.
0141 changed focus to 2593.0 form 2612 it got significantly better.
0408 clouds really rolled in. going to wait until 4:45 to see if it gets better because National Weather services predicts cloud coverage will get better at 5am
0422 clouds rolled out starting captures again.
