Notes (S00064)

Imaging session was with a focal reducer bringing 8" f/10 LX200 to f/7. Images were recorded with ST7 CCD camera. Seeing was reasonable and the opportunity was taken to acquire a sequence of 29 targets (5 x 60 sec sets) comprising mainly galaxies in Leo, Virgo and Coma Berenices, but also a couple of open clusters in Auriga and comet 123P West-Hartley.  The targets (including 15 Messier objects) were acquired via an automated scripting run of 3h 45m duration. Some highlights from the session are shown below :
