double star recording checklist
If I'm going to do double star measurements seriously with BinStar in the future, analysising video recordings, I need a detailed checklist.
- subject star:
- target RA & Dec J2000:
- software reported RA & Dec J2000:
- target RA & Dec apparent/current:
- software reported RA & Dec apparent/current:
- local date:
- local time:
- EST or DST:
- AVI format yes or no:
- AVI filename:
- AVI location:
- frames per second/fps:
- computer make & model:
- capture hardware make & model:
- capture software make & version:
- telescope make & model:
- telescope type, refractor, reflector, compound:
- barlow power:
- focal length mm:
- mirror diagonal yes or no:
- camera used:
- camera L-R setting used yes or no:
- camera U-D setting used yes or no:
A number of these items are critical for proper calculations by the software.
Time is the non-renewable resource.
