Major Project 2019-20

Photometry

HR Code

17/10/19

Start: 18:13

Took some Dark Frames at various temp and exposures

19:30 Andrey Abramov came to dome

Calibrated using Vega

problems with telescope syncranisation (dec reading -40deg) and Stelarium saying the telescope was in Paris

Vega was saturated at lowest exposure (0.001s)

Moved to a field of stars and focused on them

Then moved back to vega, was focused

Imaged an unknown binary

Finished at 22:44

Need to find out:

telescope position 'bug'

Link telescope to stelarium and guiding camera

06/12/19

Manged to use Maxim_DL to aligne two images:

b100s_aligned.fit

g100s_aligned.fit

Also a 30 min dark frame exposure was taken to investigate the flux of cosmic rays on to the CCD chip

df30m.fit

13/12/19

Took some more 30 and 20 min dark frames to investiage possiable cosmic rays and decays.

As well as aligned two images of m29 taken at 40s from 29/11/19
