received refractor image (Stillwater)

Heard from the human. 

The "shutdown [process] failed so processing did not happen. Running manually now." And moments later, the usual automated message from the Mini-Robotic Observatory appeared.

Woo hoo. My Vulpecula image data from 23 Jul '21 was safe and sound.

Once again, I had aimed at star HD 183013 in Vulpecula. I specifically wanted to use the wide-field instrument so to pull in a lot of stars. It was just over a year ago I had stumbled into the area, while follow an asteroid, and noted a great number, significant number, of double stars.

So this is a bit of "getting more eyes" on this region.

region about HD 183013 Vul

Luminance, 3 seconds, 12 subs, FITS Liberator, GIMP. North is up, east is left.

Love it.

My gut feel is that we're seeing about four times as much sky as the BGO image from yesterday.

§

The field is approximate 1°18' in size, square.

There is very slight imager rotation here. North is about 1 degree to the right or clockwise...

We're seeing to magnitude 15 and 16.

§

This wider field includes some known doubles.

SLE 942. North-west. Tight. Slightly unequal pair oriented south-east to north-west.

SLE 943. North-west. Tight. Slightly wider than 942. Slightly unequal. Slightly dimmer than 942. oriented east to west, almost perfectly.

STF 3111. In the image but not splittable.

WSI 22. West-west-south of centre. Oriented west-east. Identical stars, in brightness.

WW Vul is here too aka LI 2. But I can't see the B star...

With the lovely grouping to the south. Including HD 183014 (aka STF 2523), KRU 8, and HLM 23. Includes A 2786 proper though not splittable.

KPP 439 is here, nearby, but not splittable.

Checked against the analysed field...

Whoa.
