Objects Session Notes
C/2006 M4 (Swan) - Comet NGC 7000 (southern part) - Nebula ("North America nebula") PLN 102- 2.1 - Planetary Nebula M31 - Extragalactic Nova: M31 2006 14 NGC 7674 - Spiral Galaxy / Type 2 Seyfert galaxy NGC 383 and adjacent galaxies ("Pisces Cloud") NGC 7741 - Spiral Galaxy Moon (82% phase) Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- HD 5501/5513 (eclipsing variables)
- SS Cyg (dwarf novae)
- BL Lac (BL Lac blazer)
- U And (Mira variables)
- Z And, T Tau (variables)
- Ross 248/HH And, Groombridge 34, HIP 3829 (Nearby Stars)
- 8.4 hr session, largely operated under automated control - CCD operation of -25 degC (at 72% average cooling). . - main objective was to acquire an image mosaic of part of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) as a prelude to a future mosaic imaging project in 2007. - the other main objectives where to acquire images of specific variables stars and a current nova in M31 as part of ongoing photometric studies. - opportunity was also taken to acquire images of certain deep sky objects and to obtain various follow-up images of current comets and nearby stars for astrometric analysis. - More Notes -
