Nov 12th

Today I had trouble making progress in any imaging because of difficulties with the CCDOPS. Instead I tried to figure out how to stack images on Photoshop (unsuccessfully).

Nov 13th

Today I discussed with my fellow classmates good times to schedule observation times at Jordan Hall.

Today I read up on the NOAO (The National Optical Astronomy Observatory) which was formed in 1982 in order to make the best ground based telescopes available to all astronomers and provide the public with an understanding of science and astronomy. It is between this and the New Mexico Skies program that I will probably capture and receive both my images.

Again I went to the NOAO website and looked for information and help posted on the Astronomy Organizations link. I also found help along the way which gave information and help on how to use AdobePhotoshop to process images.

Nov 17th

Today I began to look at the Astronomy Book which was given to me by my teacher. I flipped through it to see if it recommended any programs which I could use to create images. I also did some general reading about the history and principles of astronomy.
