Astronomy Report
Name: Mariona Badenas
Crew: 212
Date: 12 May 2019
MDRS ROBOTIC OBSERVATORY
Robotic Telescope Requested (choose one): MDRS-WF
** Object Viewed #1: IC5067 (Pelican Nebula)
Problems Encountered: The telescope was open but it did not take pictures of this object (it still has to take 17 exposures). Attached: a color image of IC5067 without including the H-alpha frames, which the telescope still has to take.
** Object Viewed #2: Veil Nebula
Problems Encountered: The telescope took 19 exposures and stopped at twilight. It still has to take 49 exposures for this object.
** (More objects to be Viewed): NGC6992, Iris Nebula, IC1396
Problems Encountered: N/A (Observations of these objects have not begun yet).
MUSK OBSERVATORY
** Solar Features Observed: Observed the sun through the eyepiece and took several pictures of a sunspot (see attached). I still have not been able to take pictures of interesting phenomena in the solar corona like prominences or granules.
Problems Encountered: I think the camera settings on ICap were not ideal. Will attempt to take new pictures tomorrow.
