On this page, I will keep track of my environment data taken with my Lunatico Pocket CW2. This shall help me and others setting the alarm conditions correctly. All data is taken from my backyard in southern Germany with the BASF plant to the north.
Explanation of code for estimated imaging conditions:
0 - no imaging possible
1 - imaging with narrowband filters on bright objects
2 - imaging with narrowband filters on dim objects // OSC of brighter galaxies
3 - best conditions for narrowband and OSC
