Hi Ajay,

At what time do you need members to reach the venue and support you in setting
up the equipment tomorrow? I am working tomorrow, however, would try and leave
early, if possible.




Regards,
Kartik

Bohemians,Mars occultation is upon us, just two days away, on Saturday.I will be
setting up my telescope and associated accessories tommorow, Friday, 9th May in
the back lawns, Teen Murti.The telescope will be setup and left for the day all
covered up and ready for the Saturday event that starts in Civil Twilight.I will
be polar aligning the mounting on Friday.I have planned 3 imaging rigs.Imaging
Rig 1. 8" Meade telescope, 2X Barlow, Toucam webcamera, laptopThis rig will
record 3 minute videos (.avi files) using the laptop, the videos can later be
stacked into single images. Ofcourse at the time of the actual occultation the
videos cannot be stacked into images.Imaging Rig 2.Piggybacked Skywatcher 500mm
f.l. refractor telescope, 5X barlow, stellacam.This rig will just display the
occultation on to a screen via a projector. The screen will show a major portion
of the moon and a small Mars, but bright enough to be discerned on the
screen.Imaging Rig 3.Piggybacked Nikon D70 camera, 300mm lens.This rig will
photograph the wide FOV around the occultation, the whole moon and Mars. Images
will be captured at regular intervals.Suggestions are welcome regarding any
modification in above rigs.I also welcome members to come on Friday for the
setup and rehearsal. It will be a great help for me, if a few AAAD members come
on Friday. There are three seperately handled imaging rigs, and I could use a
lot of help during Setup, and during the actual event on Saturday.Ajay
