To Do Lists

Here is space for many To Do lists:

Wiki

Telescope/Instruments

    • observe and record behaviour/problems of the dome
  • enhance collimation of the C14 see e.g. here
  • paint inner gate white
  • make pinholes
  • clean and blacken sides of OIII Filter and Halpha and SII

Groundhog Day

  • bake drying granulate of the QHY600Ms, QHY268M (once a year) → next replacement: February 2025
  • bake drying granulate of the STF8300M (once a year) → next replacement: Januar 2023
  • bake drying granulate of the ST-8 (once a year) → next replacement: Januar 2023
  • bake drying granulate of the ST-7 (once a year) → next replacement: Januar 2023
  • clean dome (see) → next cleaning: summer 2024
  • clean oculars with Optic Wonder → last cleaning october 2023
  • In autumn, reduce the worm's contact pressure on the worm wheel of the right ascension drive to avoid the “ship horn” (see). In spring, increase the pressure again such that the right ascension axis can't be moved by hand.

Telescope computer

  • OMS: update driver and software

General things

  • move more stuff from the svn to the cloud
  • add HIP and SAO numbers to the list of binary stars in the svn/cloud, because for example the CGE-Pro understands only SAO
  • setup backup with observational data for students in the cloud
  • setup new dark archive
  • create a script to tooot the current weather conditions
  • update the telefone list in the dome
  • add pictures to gallery
  • replace imagemagick in the setup script of the gallery with python libraries?
  • add QR-Code/install NFC-tag for our gallery on the stairs to the telescope

Lab course/Observations/Data processing

  • improve N1
    • optimise DADOS analysis
    • optimise BACHES analysis
  • improve C7
    • fill archive data
    • construct analysis with nightfall
  • develop alternative master observations
  • possible additional bachelor observations:
    • develop bachelor observation regarding a new telescope alignment
    • develop bachelor observation regarding the rotational velocity of Jupiter
    • additional solar observation from C2 covering solar activity
      • C2 should be enhanced → If activities on the sun are visible then observe, if not use archive data
      • Do we have a formula for the intensity profile of a sun spot? – account for influence of the filter
