Goals

1. Figure out auto-guider
   1. Get something other than "99 0 0" to be shown
   2. Determine how to collect guider data on CC
2. Show Kasra the Moon and Mars
3. Test Mirror Doors

1. Autoguider CCD is affixed on-axis

1. We will turn off all lights in dome and follow SBIG ST4 Manual: Quick Start Guide (pgs 4-7; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZHGE03GMtdPJj9Op_cJs9yjb29Hh9o2/view?usp=share_link)
2. After plugging in Guider CCD to ST4, it showed "99 0 0"
3. Cardboard box is covering light baffle
4. Connor and Shrey are trying to find a set of settings that gives ANY other value for the readout, other than "99 0 0"
   1. EA (Exposure Adjust) was set to its lowest value (0.1s)
   2. b (Boost Factor) was set to its lowest value (1)
   3. BA (Brightness Adjustment) was set to its normal value (A), which only collects data from one pixel
      1. As opposed to "F" which sums the pixel value along with its eight neighbors
5. Connor and Shrey took a Dark Frame, and then switched back to "Find and Focus".
6. The display then showed "0 0 0"
   1. This makes sense since the Dark Frame is subtracted from the value

ToDo

Notes

1. We don't know where the adapters are for the planetary camera ↔ GAM-lite.
2. Second DC monitor is not on. Primary monitor is flickering.
3. There is no set of caps/coverings for filter wheel. We feel weird leaving it in a rando
4. There are concerns over the lower shutter overdriving after closing, but still driving until upper shutter closes
5. Might have located MEADE telescope cover
