ToDo
manually rotate finder scope detector redo calibrations for this day (Only one combination, Gain: 150, Filter, R)
Notes
* Foveon until 2115
* Took a long exposure capture of Mkn 590 instead of Mkn 501, will be replacing a future Mkn 590 capture with 501 to even it out
* mkn 501 is below the ground so we are going ahead with capturing mkn 590 instead.
Mkn 590 very dim. even at 5 min exposure.
