RE: How to schedule an iTelescope for multiple objects? - PMSchu - 2019-01-14
Hi Greg,
I replied to your message on 12 Jan last night then forgot to push the 'Post' button
. I wonder if the initialization issue is related to the observation that I had to click the 'Expose for' button twice in the Exposure Calculator to get the EC accept a change to an 'Expose for' choice.
Thanks for info about the calibration files. Except for scientific work the difference between a 60 sec dark and a 5 sec dark should be negligible, especially on a cooled CCD camera on a bright object. I'll confirm that with Dr. Sasse tomorrow.
Thanks for all your help,
Phil S.

Hi Greg,
I had a great iTelescope tutorial with Dr. Sasse today. After an hour I was pretty saturated with new information. I forgot to ask about the difference between 5 sec & 60 sec dark frames (if any).
I managed to create an Imaging Project for the main belt asteroid (10483) Tomburns for T18 in Spain for 0300 Spain time tonight using ST4i and make a scope reservation. I've attached the observing plan in case you'd like to see it. Just something simple for starters
Thanks again for your help,
Phil S.
