Notes
-Had some issues with reconnecting the DDC and sharpcap at 2pm
-3C 345 and AM Her's altitude is down below 30 so we had to skip those targets and move to the next ones
-We are not able to find Am Her using thesky6, we also tried searching for the other keyword of the target using CDS portal but we weren't able to find any other keyword
-While capturing the data of Phi cas, Sharpcap shows “SINGLE FRAME CAPTURE FAILED” at the top
-The Exposure taken is complete but the DDC does not say the capture is completed
