Kumeu Observatory Log: MOA 2010-BLG-092
http://kumeu.blogspot.com/2010/06/moa-2010-blg-092.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Pixel Scale; 0.70"/pixel. Camera: SBIG ST7 XME Deluxe. CCD: KAF-0402ME class 1. Observers: Guy Thornley, David Moorhouse, Michelle Knowler. First night 3 Jun 2010. Clear night, good seeing. Some images have rather poor focus. Nothing to major however. 6 June 2010 UT. Very marginal night but got a few holes in the clouds. Most of the five only images have. Had a small amount of cloud passing during the exposure but not enough to ruin the image. Seeing and focus fairly poor. Kumeu W...

Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Pixel Scale; 0.70"/pixel. Camera: SBIG ST7 XME Deluxe. CCD: KAF-0402ME class 1. Observers: Guy Thornley, David Moorhouse, Michelle Knowler. First night clear until dawn. No idea of what target is yet. Second night again perfect weather, still having the shutter jamming every so often and losing the autoguider. This is why the Autoguider co-ordanates are in the info above. Sunday, May 2, 2010. Pixel Scale; 0.70"/pixel. Camera: SBIG ST7 XME Deluxe. CCD: KAF-0402ME class 1.

Kumeu Observatory Log: Astrotech (GSO) 10" RC
http://kumeu.blogspot.com/2013/01/gso-10-rc.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. Astrotech (GSO) 10" RC. This needs a spacer to get the right distance from the flattener and the chip on the STL camera they make this as well. Extender tube for TS2.5Flat to STL. Next I needed to change the focuser. Ron at Moonlite Focusers. Is organising a special very low profile 2.5" focuser for me as the standard one ended up not having enough backfocus so I could not get it to pull focus.

Kumeu Observatory Log: OGLE 2013-BLG-0101
http://kumeu.blogspot.com/2013/03/ogle-2013-blg-0101.html
Wednesday, March 13, 2013. First event we have followed this season. Nice clear skies and easy to see target. Had drama with serial ports not working, pinpoint not solving and flat dome batteries. Also major frosting on the CCD chip had to run at 10 deg C not ideal at all. RA (J2000.0) 17:52:55.20. Dec (J2000.0) -31:30:42.5. Pixel Scale; 0.70"/pixel. Camera: SBIG ST10 XME Deluxe.
