Data Taking

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

It looks like I got another 3.2 GBytes of images last night.  I have 
altered the program from that on Disk 16 where I take one dark and nine 50 
second exposures.   I am now taking one dark and four 100 second 
exposures.  This is somewhat more efficient in camera use since less time 
is wasted reading out the exposures.   This exposure should provide a 
slight overlap between data sets.  I have not yet looked at the data to 
check, but it looks good otherwise.  i.e. no ice, no other problems.

I stacked the 9 exposures on Disk 16 for increased sensitivity.  I plan to 
do the same on the current run.   This should get us near mag 15 in the V 
filter.  I continue to be open to suggestions for data taking.  Seems to me 
that while it is there I should be taking data, even though we may never 
look at it since the eventual pipeline will probably not be compatible with 
this data.
