Software Settings CCDAutoPilot, Version: 3.42.7, Standard Edition Licensed to: reseavey@rcn.com System profile: C:\Program Files\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3\System Profiles\CDK_12.5_6_11_08.app Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 MaxIm version 4,62,1,0 being used for image acquisition. Maxim camera: SBIG Universal No telescope control program used. Rotator used: Optec Pyxis on COM5 PinPoint version 5.0.13 used for plate solving Catalog: GSC ACT Catalog Path: D:\GSC for Pinpoint\ Catalog Expansion: .3 Plate solve sub-frame: Full Plate solve filter: Lum Plate solve binning: 2x2 Plate solve exposure time: 10 Standard FITS keywords will be inserted into the FITS header. Tracking and Guiding Settings Telescope slew to an altitude below 15 will be prevented. Guided operation being used with a peak enhanced dither of 3 pixels. AGSR enabled for 20 cycles to get within 1 pixels. An audible alarm will sound if the guide star is not recovered. Focus Settings WARNING: no automatic focusing is possible without a focuser connected via a focus control program. Focusing will be performed every 30 minutes. Meridian Flip Settings Automatic meridian crossing enabled. The mount will not be resynchronized after the meridian crossing. The guide star will be automatically selected after meridian crossing. A focus run will not occur after the meridian crossing. The mount will track for 12 minutes past the meridian before flipping. The rotator will rotate 180 degrees upon meridian crossing. Session and Options 1. Startup Tasks 2. After Light Frames Dark and/or bias frames will be acquired after the target light frames. Any light frames or dark/bias frame exposures will be aborted at dawn approaches. 3. Shutdown tasks Telescope will be re-parked after dawn flats are completed. 09:49:20 09:49:20 Run starting... 09:49:20 Log saved to: G:\06_13_08\CCDAutoPilot_Logs\ccdap20080614_094919.log 09:49:20 *** Review setup before starting session *** 09:49:20 09:49:20 Root save path: G:\06_13_08\ 09:49:20 System profile: C:\Program Files\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3\System Profiles\CDK_12.5_6_11_08.app 09:49:20 Target List: C:\Program Files\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3\Target Lists\M27 CDK.xml 09:49:20 Start sequence number: 3775 09:49:20 09:49:20 09:49:20 Dark/Bias Frames 09:49:20 Dark set 1 of 1 starting... 09:49:20 Dark/Bias Series 5: 1 dark frame(s), binned 2x2, Ha filter, 2 seconds. 09:49:21 Exposing... 09:49:36 G:\06_13_08\080614_CalibrationFrames\25Dark2s2x2_080614_03775.fit 09:49:38 09:49:38 Total light exposure time is 0 hours, 0.0 minutes 09:49:38 Total dark exposure time is 0 hours, 1.0 minutes 09:49:39 Run completed.
