MUSK SOLAR OBSERVATORY

Observation End Time: 12:00 and 16:00
Summary:
Today I finally was able to observe the sun with the solar observatory! I observed the sun for a bit this morning and went after lunch too. Everything went smoothly and no problems were encountered with the lower shutter, although a bit of cleaning and lubrication can certainly help.
I sent you the image of the Sun I took this evening. With a nice prominence. My photoshop skills can certainly be improved but I’m quite proud of my first image anyway.
Objects Viewed: Sun
Problems Encountered: None
MDRS ROBOTIC OBSERVATORY
Robotic Telescope Requested: MDRS-14
Objects to be imaged this evening:
– Messier 51
– Messier 64
– Messier 57
– Messier 101
– NGC 7023
I saw that we will have a clear sky this evening so I will observe a lot of objects.
Images submitted with this report: None since yesterday’s observations came back with "WCS Registration failed" error.
Errors Encountered: WCS Registration failed -> probably due to bad weather over the observatory. Hopefully this evening will be nice.
