Objects Session Notes
- Evening session (4 hrs duration).
Generally clear skies, but cloud developing on occasions and towards end- Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer. - Main aim of the session were to test dual scope/dual camera operation with autoguiding
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding
- POTH Hub
- PHD2 Guiding
- Full Automated Operation (i.e. integrated imaging &
guiding using CCDApp2 & PHD2 automation)- Secondary aim was to acquire some deep sky images
(including images of M1)- Ambient Temperature: ~ 0 degC (minimum) - Notes from 2017-11-14 >>
