Once you are taking images you will be presented with a preview of each captured image in the System Status Display. In Figure 5 you can see a small thumbnail of the Orion Nebula. Clicking on it will show a larger version of the preview. However this is just a JPEG version of your raw FITs image that was uploaded to the SkyCenter google Drive. We shared your directory with you. In your browser (in another tab) you will want to have this open to monitor files as they appear. Refresh your view of this directory to see if any new files have shown up (Fig 17). You can right click on the files individually and save them to your computer in your downloads directory or you can highlight a group of them and do the same. For a group of files Google Drive will ZIP them together. You can extract the files on your computer in the appropriate place.

An alternative method (and much more automated) is to download Google’s “Backup and Synch” software for your computer. This will require that you have your own Google Drive (Gmail) account. Then you can synchronize the directory we shared with you and images will show up on your computer automatically, moments after they are acquired at the Schulman Telescope.
