People

Onkar, Roy

Spaces Occupied

433C, 401, Dome

Goals

  1. Open things up
  2. Close them down
  3. Observe stars, blazars, and maybe Mars
  4. ZTF

Log

  1. Followed opening procedure
  2. Connected cameras to scope
  3. pointing at capella
  4. Attempting to focus
    1. Attempted to measure Seeing via FWHM reported by SharpCap in pixels.
    2. Calculated 25'' for planetary camera (13.8 pix average for best FWHM measure)
    3. Couldn't accurately determine focal length of finderscope, so couldn't figure angular resolution of detector easily

ToDo

  1. Second security camera needs to be installed near dome encoder.
  2. Get static IP for network switch
  3. Roy: Bring side table in for control room

Notes

Other misc notes or things learned. This list may have a lot of overlap with ToDo. I.e., "We learned how to use the ZWO XYZLMNOP camera, ToDo: create a wiki page on the XYZLMNOP camera".

Weather

If using the telescope, record the ambient temperature, dome temperature, forecast seeing, temperature, humidity, transparency, cloud cover, etc. We'll eventually arrive at a solid table of these and can query online resources to build this quickly.


Data

If using the telescope cameras, record the local and any remote location of collected data.
