Objects Session Notes
Bullet M100 - Spiral Galaxy & Supernova 2006x
- 1 hour session, cut short by a rain shower & developing cloud.
- main aim was to obtain magnitude estimates for Delta Cepheid & RT Aur and to image SN 2006x and other recently discovered supernova.  Objectives were only partially met due to adverse weather conditions.
