Taking (Good) Data

[Tom Droege <droege@wwa.com>]

It is only 9PM and I already have 320MBytes "In the Can".  I have the focus
pretty good and the RA setting pretty good, and am taking a sequence where
I follow a star field for five frames.  

With my present installation looking out a door at a 45 degree angel, I can
only see a few square degrees of sky, so there is no use asking me to point
at anything.  I point where I can.  With this consideration, does anyone
have any suggestions?  Otherwise I plan to just sit at the one spot, take a
frame, back up, take another frame, etc., through the night.  This is not
the night to ask for different exposures.   I plan to run with about a 200
second exposure.
