Log

  1. Switched astropol camera off main telescope and replaced with 2600
  2. prepped dome and closed hatch
  3. connected ascom, dfmtcs and sky6
  4. opened mirror doors
  5. set tracking rate
  6. took sky flats
  7. did pointing calibration using arcturus
  8. slewed to m35
  9. autodome did not follow telescope
  10. fixed autodome by manually moving dome so telescope pointed out of it, then setting dome position to telescope azimuth in DFMTCS
  11. took captures of M35
  12. slewed to AD Leo
  13. 2600 disconnected
  14. reseated data cable from 2600 to ICRON box on ICRON box
  15. took captures of AD Leo
  16. slewed to Hat-P-12
  17. took captures of Hat-P-12
  18. slewed to zenith
  19. closed mirror doors
  20. took darks
  21. shutdown
