Date | Name | Affiliation | Other Observers | Instrument | Hrs Observed | Hrs Lost | Reason | Observing Program |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
01/06/2022 | Kurtis Williams | TAMUC | none | Andor | 5.5 | 6.5 | Wind | Deep H-alpha imaging lost due to high winds at start of night. White dwarf time series photometry in second half of night.
No major problems. Winds were high but below limits for 2nd half of night. Seeing was marginal (2 arcsec or so); other ORM observatory DIMMs reported bad seeing too.
Suggestion: Have wind speed in same units on Clarity, within the ACE interface (which I really liked tonight), and on the Closing limits on the SARA website. It's tough to convert m/s and kph to mph at 2am.
Nice to be observing with this instrument again. |
