Running

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I ran TOM last night with the new fits header software.  The weather was 
not so good but I got enough pictures that I could identify where I was 
looking.  Not so bad.  I am about 1 degree off in declination and 5 degrees 
off in RA.  The RA error is constant over the frames, so the computation of 
RA must be right.  Looks like all I have to do is to adjust the position of 
where I think the RA limit switch is.

Sigh!  There is always something that is a pain.  Image Scientist gives me 
those #@%$@ truncated dos file names for selection.  FitsHeader reads the 
long Windows names.  So to get from one to the other I have to count files.

There are still a few things that prevent taking good data.  The V camera 
has a sticking camera.  It also has a couple of ice crystals.  I will 
change the desiccant and try to unstick the shutter.  Then perhaps I can 
get some data to send out with fits headers for you all to ponder.
