*Use bin 2x2 to avoid large files and long downloads
FOV is in arc minutes
Res is resolution in arc seconds/pixel
Filters are photometric filters only, other filters (C, L, etc) may be on the filter wheel

Telescope Control


All telescopes are controlled via ACP. The most efficient way to learn ACP can be found on the ACP Scripting page.

N is the number of nights used to determine the coefficients. The stated values are the average of each
nights result.

Fields used are SA110 and M67, and the methods and calculations are described in detail in the photometry book of Henden and Kaitchuck.

Telescope Limiting Magnitudes

We will post these data as they become available.

GRAS004

M67. V-Filter. 60 second exposure. NOTE: not corrected for color which will affect SNR! Stars without M67#s are selected from the field.
