Attendance Onkar, Gabriel, Roy briefly

Date & Time 11/8/22, 1900-

Spaces Occupied 401 Control room and Dome

Goals

  1. (Onkar) Test new FireNex
  2. (Onkar) Investigate/Fix Motherboard Ethernet Port on Data Computer
  3. (Gabriel) Investigate TCP/IP Stuff
  4. Point Scope & Write it up in Wiki
  5. Astrometric calibration with M67 or NGC188
    1. Need sidereal tracking, not solar
    2. So point on high star
    3. Use https://archive.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_form to find images
  6. Write up tracking vs (auto)guiding
  7. Write wiki for general telescope use


Log

Gabriel Investigate TCP/IP Stuff


  1. Tried setting up TCP/IP server on T.C.S - SUCCESS
    1. Go to DFMTCS (program), open Options→ Communication→ TCP/IP→Activate Connection. TCP/IP address and port configurable while TCP/IP server is offline.
    2. Service status exists on the bottom right of DFMTCS program
  2. Tried connecting the T.C.S(telescope control system) to the D.C(data computer) - FAILED
    1. Tried connecting the said computers directly via ethernet cable -FAILED (D.C didn't recognize the connection - checked with ipconfig and windows control panel. T.C.S recognized connection but documented "no internet access")
    2. Tried connecting through local network, D.C recognizes T.C.S TCP/IP address, no connection through DFM TCP client, could be DFM client issue.
  3. Tried connecting the T.C.S. to localhost/TCP address via TCP/IP - SUCCESS
    1. Tried through DFM TCP/IP client -FAILED
    2. Tried TCP/IP client of off internet -SUCCESS (buggy)
    3. Don't know if T.C.S connects to address directly through localhost or through local network and then its ip address


Pointing Scope
  1. Opened SharpCap
  2. Opened TheSky6
  3. Connecting CMOS to DC
    1. Originally connected LBD cable to CMOS, then to DC – Failed. Red LED lit on remote end
    2. Then disconnected everything
    3. Then connected LBD to DC, then to CMOS. – Success. Green LED lit on remote end
  4. Detecting CMOS in SharpCap
    1. After successful connection between DC and CMOS (measured by LED on LBD?(ask Onkar))
    2. SharpCap was not seeing  



Other Notes

  1. Seems like we need to connect LDB to DC before CMOS for successful connection
