  • 2028 While trying to take LED calibration the Arduino is give this error “No space left on device”, once tried to install updates, then it worked we have changed the LED 6 and took LED, after that when we tried changing the LED level to 3, it is again giving us this error.
  • 2115 The Arduino issue got solved, we have deleted the temp files in the local disk, it was the reason for the error
  • 2125 Done Pointing the telescope
  • 2130 The initial focus is 2623, the star is out of focus, so changed it to 2580
  • 2140 Took beta cep capture but it is saving in the desktop, later changed the saving location to Z:\PICSARR\REV03. So we had to take beta cep capture again
  • 2159 Started Capturing Beta cep
  • 2226 Started capturing HD 154445
  • 2246 Started capturing ALpha Lac
