Log
1746 - while taking darks, we ran into an issue of pan and tilt - pan is fine but tilt is ranging between 0-865, no way to set it to required 790/900
1757 - resolved: solution to above problem is to use default value it loads at which is 394/450.
1758 - started taking darks
1806 - Plugged LED back and started taking LED calibrations.
1815 - started pointing and verified pointing with 3 objects in the night sky - Vega, Deneb, Jupiter
1828 - Figured out focus and started taking captures of Epsilon Cas (2583.2 F)
1848 - Slewed to Gamma peg and started taking captures
1906 - Slewed to Zeta Cas and started taking Captures
1925 - Slewed to Phi Cas and started taking Captures
1944 - Slewed to Alpha Lac and started taking Captures
2004 - Slewed to Beta Cep and started taking Captures
2027 - Slewed to Epsilon Cas and started taking captures
2048 - Slewed to Gamma peg and started taking captures
2106 - Slewed to Zeta Cas and started taking Captures
2125 - Slewed to Phi Cas and started taking Captures
2144 - Slewed to Alpha Lac and started taking Captures
2202 - Slewed to Beta Cep and started taking Captures
