CH Cygni
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 10:12 pm
Hello,
session on CH Cygni tonight.
I enclosed the eShel behind a curtain today (to protect from lighs) and cleaned up my control room with one PC for all acquisition/control and one to watech movies!
I also started using some PRISM v9 scripts. Here is the one to do my calibrations for the night - very efficient:
Screenshot of the acquisition PC:
And first spectra reduced on CH Cygni tonight, quickly dispolayed in SPLAT-VO, a great professional tool to analyse spectra:
As it goes through meridian, my mount is guiding less accuratly with couple of "jumps" - it does need a full mechanical clean up!
Cordialement,
Olivier Thizy
