Goals

  1. calibration frames with picsarr instrument
  2. look at stuff

Log

  1. began calibration frames
  2. having issues with data drive uploading to google and also writing data from sharpcap
    1. temp solution: pause google drive syncing
    2. semi-perm solution: replace data drive with SSD for faster read/write speeds
  3. TRAGEDY: FILLED UP DATA DRIVE
    1. single files are 126gb, not good
    2. temp solution: stole external SSD from astropol, using as intermediary drive
  4. calibration done
  5. Timing test (at 12ms)
    1. says its error is at 120 μs (this is bad I am told)
    2. Meyer says this is likely the result of another issue
      1. 1st turn down LED brightness and do a 120s series
      2. after correcting speed now it is 5.2 μs(much better)
      3. next trial after LED dimming is 114 μs data unclear
  6. Time to Observe
    1. brightness:40 ,exposure:12ms, filter:g', bin:1, file .ser
    2. Slew to Vega
    3.  found in Finder Scope(FS)
    4. finding in Main Scope(MS) up exposure to 100ms
      1. guess who did not open mirror doors (its us)
    5. found vega
    6. exposure:12ms, LED:3,
