Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
CCDSoft version 5.00.188 being used for image acquisition.
   DirectGuide being used for guider movement
   Minimum move: 0.25 arc-sec.
   Maximum move: 3 arc-sec.
   Aggressiveness: 8
TheSky version 6.0.0.60 being used for telescope control.
FocusMax version 3.04.0001 being used for focus control.
Rotator used: Optec Pyxis on COM9
CCDSoft/TheSky used for plate solving
   Plate solve sub-frame: Full
   Plate solve filter: Luminance
   Plate solve binning: 2x2
   Plate solve exposure time: 20
Standard FITS keywords will be inserted into the FITS header.

Tracking and Guiding Settings
   Telescope slew to an altitude below 10 will be prevented.
   Guided operation being used with a peak random dither of 1.00 pixels.
   AGSR enabled for 20 cycles to get within 1 pixels.

Focus Settings
   FocusMax is using the RoboFocus.Focuser focuser driver
   SkyStar being used for focusing.
   Focus star will be centered via precision slew
   Focus star maximum brightness is Mag. 4
   Focus stars will be selected to have an altitude higher than 60 degrees.
   Focuser temperature compensation is not enabled.
   A post-focus offset of 0 counts will be applied.
WARNING: No periodic focusing specified.

Meridian Flip Settings
   Automatic meridian crossing enabled.
   The mount will be resynchronized after the meridian crossing.
   The guide star will be automatically selected after meridian crossing.
   A focus run will occur immediately after the meridian crossing.
   The mount will track for 5 minutes past the meridian before flipping.
   The rotator will rotate 180 degrees upon meridian crossing.


Session and Options
1. Startup Tasks
   Camera cooler will be turned on after a 0 min. delay at a set point of -25 degrees.

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.
   Any light frames or dark/bias frame exposures will be aborted at dawn approaches.

3. Shutdown tasks
   c:\documents and settings\all users\documents\scripts\automaticcloseobservatoryroofscript.vbs will be run.
