Opened the roof.. tonight the sky is also very promising.
18:53
Need to take some flats for luminance filter.
19:12
I found a wooden circular thing they use for art in a stationary store. Immediately realized that i can use it for taking flats. Just going to experiment on this.
19:23
Success!! It worked perfectly :) Now on to flat images.
21:45
Adding image rotator has made my life so easy and so difficult at the same time. With camera angle rotation, light cone is also rotated. So i need lots and lots of flat frames. Doing that right now.
10:07
Stopped the flats thing and on the one of the asteroids i am observing these days.
10:27
Imaging has begun.. I will at least take an hour worth of data of this asteroid for a good astrometry.
12:02
Collected 43 images, each of 90 seconds.. I will do the astrometric analysis later.
03:47
Got images of a beautiful part of Orion Nebula.. an hour worth of data. Imaged another asteroid.
Having difficulties with the TCF focuser.. i have reached the end of its position. Probably tomorrow i will change the focuser of the OTA and then there are many steps before i can restarty imaging routine again.

Observatory is closed now.
