Software Settings CCDAutoPilot, Version: 3.42.7, Professional Edition Licensed to: ssander2@eastern.edu System profile: C:\Documents and Settings\stat\My Documents\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3\System Profiles\Clara2.app Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 CCDSoft version 5.00.174 being used for image acquisition. Camera Relays being used for guider movement Minimum move: 0.01 sec. Maximum move: 1 sec. Aggressiveness: 3 TheSky version 6.0.0.58 being used for telescope control. @Focus2 used for focus control. AutomaDome version 1.00.011 being used for dome control. Boltwood cloud sensor version II used. CCDSoft/TheSky used for plate solving Plate solve sub-frame: Full Plate solve filter: Clear Plate solve binning: 3x3 Plate solve exposure time: 8 Standard FITS keywords will be inserted into the FITS header. Tracking and Guiding Settings Telescope slew to an altitude below 15 will be prevented. WARNING: Undithered guided operation being used. WARNING: With Guide Error set to 0, AGSR is disabled. Focus Settings SkyStar being used for focusing. Focus star maximum brightness is Mag. 4 Focus stars will be selected to have an altitude higher than 40 degrees. Focuser temperature compensation is enabled. A post-focus offset of 0 counts will be applied. Focusing will be performed every 30 minutes. WARNING: The same Red filter is specified for focusing, regardless of the exposure filter. Filter Parameters Filter Offset Cal. Exposure Cal Mag.

Session and Options 1. Startup Tasks Camera cooler will be turned on after a 0 min. delay at a set point of -10 degrees. Sky Flat settings with tracking on and a dither of 5 arc-min. Null point automatically set. Dusk starting sun altitude is 0.5 deg. Dawn starting sun alittude is -8 deg. Flat exposure range is from 1 to 30 sec. Bias is determined automatically. Dark and/or bias frames will be acquired before the target light frames. If cloud sensor reports cloudy, the run will immediately abort. Light frames for the specified target(s) will be obtained. Precision slew to target will be used. 2. After Light Frames Telescope will be parked after light frames are completed. Telescope tracking will be turned off after light frames are completed. Any light frames or dark/bias frame exposures will be aborted at dawn approaches. Dawn flats will be acquired 3. Shutdown tasks Telescope will be re-parked after dawn flats are completed. Tracking will be turned off after dawn flats are completed. Dome will be closed after dawn flats are completed. Cooler will be turned off. 21:21:53 21:21:53 Run starting... 21:21:53 Log saved to: D:\Research\CCDAutoPilot_Logs\ccdap20080615_212151.log 21:21:58 *** Review setup before starting session *** 21:21:58 21:21:58 Root save path: D:\Research\ 21:21:58 System profile: C:\Documents and Settings\stat\My Documents\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3\System Profiles\Clara2.app 21:21:58 Target List: D:\Research\first target.xml 21:21:58 Start sequence number: 44 21:21:58 21:21:58 Cooler set to -10.0 degrees C 21:23:50 Cooler temperature: -9.8 21:23:50 21:23:50 Dark/Bias Frames 21:23:50 Dark set 1 of 1 starting... 21:23:50 Dark/Bias Series 1: 6 dark frame(s), binned 3x3, Clear filter, 60 seconds. 21:23:51 Exposing... 21:25:00 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00044.fit 21:25:05 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:25:08 Focuser position was: 0 21:25:13 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:25:15 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:25:15 Exposing... 21:26:21 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00045.fit 21:26:25 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:26:29 Focuser position was: 0 21:26:33 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:26:36 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:26:36 Exposing... 21:27:41 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00046.fit 21:27:46 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:27:49 Focuser position was: 0 21:27:53 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:27:56 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:27:56 Exposing... 21:29:02 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00047.fit 21:29:06 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:29:09 Focuser position was: 0 21:29:14 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:29:16 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:29:17 Exposing... 21:30:22 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00048.fit 21:30:27 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:30:30 Focuser position was: 0 21:30:35 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:30:37 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:30:37 Exposing... 21:31:43 D:\Research\080615_CalibrationFrames\-10Dark60s3x3_080615_00049.fit 21:31:47 Focuser temperature: 0.0 21:31:51 Focuser position was: 0 21:31:55 F:TC2: Temperature compensation movement not performed 21:31:58 Focuser position is compensated to: 0 21:31:58 21:31:58 Light Frames 21:32:00 Starting Focuser Temperature: 0 21:32:02 Telescope connected (0) 21:32:04 Telescope tracking on 21:32:04 Target: V574 Lyr at RA: 18 27 22.6, Dec: +36 16 16 , PA: 355.2 21:32:04 Rise: 17:17 15 Jun 21:32:04 40° E elevation: 21:30 15 Jun 21:32:04 Transit: 01:50 16 Jun 21:32:04 33° W elevation: 06:48 16 Jun 21:32:04 Set: 10:22 16 Jun 21:32:05 Slewing scope... 21:32:10 Slewed to RA: 18 27 42.4, Dec: +36 16 27 21:32:10 Mount settling for 3 sec. after slew. 21:32:13 Plate solving... 21:32:13 Telescope RA: 18 27 42.0, Dec: +36 15 60 21:32:38 D:\Research\CCDAutoPilot_SyncImages\SyncImage_V574 Lyr_213238.fit 21:32:42 Solved RA: 18 27 28.0, Dec: +36 15 16 PA: 348.5 21:32:42 Pointing error (arcmin): RA 1.3;
