MDRS ROBOTIC OBSERVATORY

Robotic Telescope Requested (choose one) Montana Learning Center

Objects Viewed: M35, IC434 (Horsehead Nebula), M95, M96, NGC2244 (Rosette Nebula)

Problems Encountered: Observatory live view showed clear skies when observation requests were submitted and about 1/4 cloudy skies confined to the horizon 2 hours later. Looking at the sample JPG of all observations shows no stars and no detail, so clouds likely interfered with all observations. On Skynet, it said the weather was good, but I don’t think it’s very all-encompassing or sensitive.
