McDonald 2.1m Argos July 2012 Observer: JJ Hermes Date (UT) : 2012-07-14 Start time (UTC): 02:46:48 Run Length : 15115 Number of frames: 3024 Star name : J1753 Coordinates : 17 53 28.3 -01 27 06 Chip Position : 230,175 Exposure time : 5 Magnitude : V~16.5 Filter : BVR Seeing (") : 1.2 Temp (F) : 67 Humidity (%) : 54 Wind (mph) : 7 Particle (ppcf) : 13000 Cloud : 3/10 ------------------------------------------------ Information relevant to the whole night: Sunset : 21:06 CDT Sunrise : 6:58 CDT Moonrise : 03:12 CDT Moonphase: 0.218 ------------------------------------------------ Observations are concurrent with BOV star party on the 107", so they will suffer from constant headlights of the cars heading up the mountain. Will try to note any frame that is highly affected. Headlights didn't seem to bother the data too much. They were done by 11 pm, or about 4000s in. Timecheck (02:52:55) OK Timecheck (06:57:50) OK A few scattered clouds, but never more than ~25% extinction. Superb seeing conditions, pretty much below 1.3" the entire run. Interesting activity about 13500s in. A little double-hump, perhaps not entirely related to transparency variations. Moving on to next target so I can get ~4 hr on each.
