Spaces Occupied: 401, Control Room, Dome

Goals

1. Use pPICSARR2 to perform polarization calibration
   1. GRW+70 8247
   2. beta Cass
   3. Jupiter w/ Io & Europa
2. Use pPICSARR2 to perform astrometric calibration
   1. NGC 188
   2. Step along N and E, 15'' each
   3. Probably taking ~5 min each

Log

1. Matt opened dome ~1818
2. Open mirror doors
   1. Onkar saw that south was fast
   2. We closed the mirror doors, then Onkar recorded the re-opening.
3. Pointed using Jupiter and Scheat, Katie helpedpointed to move
4. Attached Bill's pPICSARR2 to DFM Scope
5. Set focus position : to 2600, adjusted more to 2608.2
6. Issue with DC, the stepper motor and the filter wheel motor weren't connecting to data computer
   1. Stepper motor software wasn't installed? From ThorLabs
   2. Filter wheel software should be available through SharpCap
   3. So we used Bill's laptop to collect data
7. Moved to GRW+70 8247 in northern sky
   
   1. Polarization calibrations
8. Moved to NGC 188 also in northern sky
   1. Astrometric calibrations
   2. In TheSky6, navigate to Telescope → Motion Controls
      1. Set coord to RA/DEC
      2. Set jog amount
      3. Slew will ask for confirmation as with normal object slewing
9. Moved to beta Cass in northern sky

Other Notes

Todos

1. Send Bill NGC 188 images from  20221109
2. Need to install drivers on DC
   1. Install ThorLabs Kineses
3. TheSky10 from SoftwareBisque
