This is part of my on-going operations training to be a telescope operator. It was really good to get more seat time. Chris also called on me to talk about our target, the double star Algieba.
At the end, I took an afocal image of the pair, Struve 1424 A and B. Fun! 4.5 seconds of arc. But also to try to pin down the FOV.
Canon 40D, 18-55 kit lens at 48mm, 1/8th of a second, f/16, ISO 1600, RAW, manually focused, handheld.
I also shot more photos for our documentation.
Travelling with Ron, I learned he's made his own guide. He's gonna share the notes with Chris and me.
Chris and I also verified that the duplicate control on the mobile console for RA clamp is in fact active... I had spotted it in a photo.
